Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Starbucks inaugurated its first store in India yesterday in a historic building in Mumbai. The Seattle-based coffee giant is seeking to tap into a market long associated with tea drinkers.
"It is perhaps the most elegant, beautiful, dynamic store we've opened in our history," the chief executive, Howard Schultz, said in an interview.
After more than six years studying the local market, Starbucks is making a swift entry into Asia's third-largest economy. Coffee houses are still a new trend in India, and the chains already in business sell cappuccinos and lattes well below Starbucks' usual prices.
