Our Story

South India Coffee Company (SICC) was founded in 2017 by the husband and wife duo Akshay Dashrath and Komal Sable. As fifth-generation coffee producers from Coorg, one of India's oldest coffee-growing regions, we established SICC to create a collaborative supply chain focused on sustainably produced Indian specialty coffee with global reach. Our mission is to foster a more equitable and sustainable coffee industry by partnering with producers, roasters, and importers. Inspired by our time in the UK and the limited availability of Indian coffees, we embarked on this journey to put Indian coffee on the world map. Today, SICC operates in the USA, UK, and India, with end-to-end logistics and warehousing capabilities. We also collaborate with partners in Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Singapore.

OUR VISION

We envision a world where everyone involved in the coffee chain, from farmers to roasters, can thrive economically while being mindful of the environment. As an impact-driven company, we believe that economic sustainability and environmental sustainability are not mutually exclusive, but rather go hand in hand. Economic sustainability in the coffee industry is essential for the livelihoods of coffee farmers and the long-term viability of the industry. The impact of economic sustainability is profound; farmers need to be able to make a living from coffee farming in order to invest in sustainable practices and ensure the quality of their coffee, and we help them achieve this goal. We assist the farmers by creating new markets for their coffee, providing training on farming practices and post-processing, offering infrastructure support, aiding with manpower during harvest, conducting soil testing, and supplying free fertilisers based on soil reports for community projects. We believe that specialty coffee has the potential to bring about positive change, and our commitment as an impact-driven company is to foster a more sustainable and fair coffee industry.
