Café Greenr launched in 2015 with a vision of blending sustainability and community living. Starting as a rooftop café in Shapur Jat, South Delhi, it quickly pioneered plant-based dining in India, creating a unique market niche. The café's success stemmed from strategic first-mover positioning and offering a variety of plant-based proteins. Emphasizing environmental, social, and personal sustainability, it provided a space for conscious living. Despite challenges in traditional cuisine markets, Greenr positioned itself through community engagement, collaborations, and events. The case explores its strategic decisions for potential franchise expansion, aiming to lead conscious dining in India.
