Hello.

For some, Cafe Coffee Day is a shop where they hang around with friends; for others, it is one where they have a business meeting over a cup of coffee.

Do you see any grammatical errors?

Café Coffee Day is a chain of coffee shops in India

Café Coffee Day is for some, about meeting friends, and for others, a business meeting over a cup of coffee.

Daruma: If we assume this sentence comes after some context has been established, and is not some isolated sentence, then it is 'understood' that we mean 'going to/having a cup of coffee at/the experience of a visit to 'Café Coffee Day is for some...'

If it is some form of advertising, and so people are familiar with the name of the place, it would not need this information either.

Otherwise, your suggestion about including this information would be important, because at face reading, it seems to refer to a day set aside in the workplace for coffee and chat (some just of the workers socializing, some talking shop; and 'café ' referring to the idea of a European-style of coffee being served!
