There’s a new social movement brewing across Indian cities — the coffee rave. These daytime, alcohol-free gatherings pair DJ sets with coffee culture: espresso shots, cold brews and upbeat playlists that turn cafés and venues into sunlit dance floors. The trend blends wellness, community and social energy and has been covered widely in national press as a fresh, sober alternative to late-night party culture.
