Kolkata,
26th April 2012:
Café Coffee Day (CCD), the leading retail chain of coffee cafes in India today
launched ‘Café Moments’ in the city – the very first pre-paid card usable at all
CCD outlets. A tribute to coffee loyalists of the country, the card was launched

Rs. 100 to Rs. 5001 on an ongoing basis, enabling ease of use on the purchase of

cards are designed to be a great gift item that can be given out to friends and
family members at any occasion. Corporates can also use it as an ideal fun gift
for their employees.
The
launch event saw young talents of Kolkata share life moments they had spent at
Café Coffee Day outlets and how those had become defining moments for them in
real life. Like most of the CCD loyalists, the memories of the four youth icons
involved funny moments, endearing and romantic incidents as well as professional
situations that changed their lives in one way or the other.
