The company's equal joint venture in India, Tata Starbucks Ltd (TSL) Chief Executive Officer Avani Saglani Davda also accompanied Culver at the meeting.
"Culver conveyed to Sharma that TSL is committed to high quality coffee sourcing and long standing sourcing relationship with India. Culver also explained their plans and initiatives as part of the coffee sourcing and roasting agreement with Tata coffee," the statement said.
Besides, the minister was told that local craftsmen will be involved in designing the outlets in India that will have a distinct Indian imprint in ambiance and offerings, it added.
Commenting on the meeting, Sharma said: "India provides a robust investment environment, which is being recognised by the global investors."
It is a matter of happiness that a global investor is sensitive towards the needs of the local growers and recognises the local talent, he added.
Starbucks had entered the Indian market in October 2012 with the launch of three stores in Mumbai.
Last month, Tata Starbucks opened two more outlets at the National Capital's Indira Gandhi International Airport. The third one in the city will be inaugurated tomorrow.
