CRC Group and AD Singh have done a landmark collaboration with the announcement of Olive Café & Bar, bringing the celebrated dining destination to The Flagship Beyond in Noida. This partnership, in association with AD Singh, Founder & MD of the Olive Group of Restaurants, marks Olive’s first-ever collaboration in Noida, further strengthening the flagship’s positioning as a curated lifestyle destination. Spread across approx 12,000 sq ft, the Mediterranean restaurant is well- known for its romantic, rustic-chic ambience, often featuring white-pebbled courtyards and rooftop views. Founded by A.D. Singh, it is considered a premier dining destination in Delhi and Mumbai, featuring Italian-Mediterranean cuisine, popular Sunday brunches, and handcrafted cocktails. AD Singh, Founder & MD, Olive Group of Restaurants, said, “For us at Olive, every new space is an opportunity to create something that feels both personal and contextual. Our collaboration with CRC Group for The Flagship Beyond felt instinctive, given their clear vision of building a destination that values experience as much as design. Noida has been on our radar for some time, but it was important to find the right setting, and CRC’s The Flagship Beyond felt like the right fit. We look forward to bringing Olive’s signature warmth, food, and easy elegance to a new audience, and becoming a part of the city’s evolving dining and social narrative.” Satish Garg, Chairman and Founder, CRC Group, said, “At CRC, we have always focused on curating environments that feel elevated yet intuitive. We are delighted to welcome Olive Café & Bar to one of our prestigious projects, and see this association as the beginning of a long-term collaboration that will add enduring value to the destination.” This moment marks yet another meaningful milestone in CRC Group’s journey, reinforcing its commitment to building thoughtful partnerships that align with a larger vision of experiential retail. With this addition, CRC Group continues to shape The Flagship Beyond as more than a commercial address, envisioning it as a space where retail, dining, and culture intersect.

Featuring refreshing blends of Alphonso mango, coconut, lime and matcha inspired by nostalgic summer flavours National, 7th April 2026:  Summer just got a lot more sip-worthy with the limited-time Beach Packers range, launched by Third Wave Coffee. A collection of four frappes built around the season’s most iconic flavours – Alphonso mango, Japanese matcha, coconut, and lime, bringing sun-soaked nostalgia to every sip with juicy Alphonso mango, cooling coconut to a zingy splash of lime. Launched this summer, the range includes the Tropical Alphonso Frappe, Alphonso Matcha Frappe, Brazilian Lemonade Frappe, and Vietnamese Coconut Frappe.  Each drink blends summer favourite ingredients with smooth textures and perfectly captures the spirit of sunlit afternoons and tropical escapes. Sharing his views behind the launch, Rajat Luthra, CEO,  Third Wave Coffee, said,  “At Third Wave Coffee, we continuously experiment at our innovation lab, guided by evolving consumer preferences to create distinctive beverage experiences for every season. Each range is shaped by a thoughtful exploration of flavours, formats, and textures, balancing familiarity with a sense of newness. With the Beach Packers range, we set out to celebrate classic summer flavours like mango, coconut, and lime that evoke nostalgia, while reimagining them in refreshing formats for our patrons.” Four Drinks. One Summer. The collection features two mango-forward frappes. The Tropical Alphonso Frappe pairs the vibrant intensity of sun-ripened Alphonso mango with the quiet richness of coconut – a combination that is at once bright and deeply satisfying. Its counterpart, the Alphonso Matcha Frappe, is perhaps the range’s most visually arresting offering: mango slush layered beneath smooth Japanese matcha, the two meeting in a drink that balances tropical sweetness with earthy, contemplative depth. The remaining two beverages explore different corners of the summer palette. The Brazilian Lemonade Frappe is citrus as it should be: bold and tangy, softened by condensed milk into something frothy and cloud-like. And the Vietnamese Coconut Frappe closes the collection with a study in contrast, bold espresso and sweet coconut folded into a chilled slush that is as grounding as it is refreshing. The Beach Packers beverage range will be available for a limited time until the end of this month across all Third Wave Coffee outlets.
