About Us
At Dancing Goat Coffee Roasters, coffee isn’t just a beverage—it’s a craft, a passion, and a journey. We meticulously source the finest single-origin coffee beans from India’s most renowned estates, ensuring each batch embodies the rich flavours and unique terroir of its origin.
Our journey began with a deep love for coffee and a relentless pursuit of perfection. We spent countless hours sampling and roasting, fine-tuning every profile to bring out the best in each bean. The result? Exquisitely roasted coffee that highlights the distinct notes, aromas, and complexities that make each cup special.
We believe that great coffee starts with great relationships—both with the farmers who nurture these exceptional beans and with you, the coffee lover who appreciates quality in every sip. Whether you’re a casual drinker or a true aficionado, we invite you to experience coffee at its finest, freshly roasted and crafted with care.
Welcome to Dancing Goat Coffee Roasters. Let’s brew something extraordinary together.
Devesh Nayak
Devesh Nayak’s journey with coffee began during his college days, where he quickly discovered that a shot of espresso was the perfect solution to late-night study sessions. What started as a necessity turned into an acquired taste, as he relied on the bitter brew to navigate the challenges of student life. Back then, with limited coffee options available, he didn’t explore much beyond what was familiar. However, when travel presented the opportunity to discover new flavors, it was like a kid stepping into a candy land – a whole world of coffee awaited.
As life progressed, Devesh continued to experiment with different coffee varieties and brewing methods. But it was during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, when instant coffee was the only option, that he and Akshay decided to turn their passion into something more. The idea for Dancing Goat Coffee Roasters was born.
Despite being a qualified Pharmacist with an MBA, Devesh found the world of coffee cultivation, roasting, and brewing to be an intricate and fascinating field. Together with Akshay, they sampled both imported and Indian single-origin coffees, carefully selecting their favorites. They shared these with fellow coffee lovers, gathering valuable feedback.
Today, the coffee offered by Dancing Goat is the result of extensive research, thought, and effort. Devesh and the team are genuinely eager to hear how others enjoy their carefully curated coffee selections

Akshay Samel
Akshay Samel is a seasoned airline pilot whose profession has allowed him to explore diverse places and immerse himself in various cultures around the world. Alongside his demanding career, Akshay is an accomplished amateur athlete, having completed four IronMan races, three IronMan 70.3 events, and numerous marathons. His journey through these physically taxing competitions, combined with the unpredictability of changing work hours, led him to develop a reliance on coffee as a source of energy.
What started as a simple need for a pick-me-up became a deeper interest in coffee, especially after Akshay noticed how much better fresh ground coffee tasted and how it affected his well-being. He had experienced acid reflux from instant coffee, but that discomfort disappeared whenever he had a freshly brewed Americano at an airport. This realization led him to explore better coffee options, both for taste and health, and sparked his interest in finding high-quality coffee beans.
