Drickle is a Bengaluru-based quick-service beverage company that centres its menu on freshly brewed flavoured coffees while also offering matcha, boba and Thai tea drinks. Founded by Rahul Nijhawann and Vardhman Jain, the brand currently runs seven compact 150–200 sq ft outlets that are clustered within micromarkets to encourage high-frequency repeat visits. With beverages priced between Rs 100 and Rs 150, Drickle targets value-conscious urban consumers seeking specialty coffee at accessible prices.
