For a common man, a cup of coffee doesn’t always hold considerable significance, so it’s safe to say that for Akhand Mishra, coffee has always meant much more than just a beverage. To become a part of this coffee world, a two-year-long exploration of coffee throughout the country was enough and thus began the journey of 1DollarMoffee.

Initially an engineering student, he always wanted to start something of his own and do something different to make an impact. He aimed for the best and studied Entrepreneurship Studies and Leadership and Administration courses from Harvard Business School Online. He started to execute his ideas in 2015 when he finally started his first company BuyXprs, a hyperlocal shopping app; in 2017, his next start-up Appwharf, a digital workspace management app, took a front seat and has been growing since then. But Akhand always had something more in his mind, and his knowledge and fascination for coffee would be useless until he could share it with the masses and considering the same, he established 1DollarMoffee in the year 2019. 1DM is an initiative devoted to the recognition of the beverage in the city and towards creating room for Chhattisgarh between the well-known coffee industry.

1DollarMoffee is a step towards the core of coffee production and brewing, as it moves away from the fashionable notion of what coffee as a beverage is. It brings specialty coffee to the customers and acknowledges the numerous people involved in the supply chain. Not only that, to make specialty coffee accessible, they also offer services starting from only $1.

1DM’s motive of creating and boosting the coffee culture comes with strategies to make Chhattisgarh self-sufficient for coffee and to contribute to the economy as they plan to create a new employment sector for our state. With this initiative, they are working towards bringing the coffee farming estates of Chhattisgarh into the limelight while giving them a much-needed push as they provide and have a greater scope of livelihood for the tribal population of the state. As Akhand joins the wave of start-ups, his aim stands to create an innovative reputation and space in Chhattisgarh.

Today, 1DollarMoffee has two outlets in Raipur and we cannot wait to see them change the coffee culture.
