There are many chai enthusiasts in India, and it's safe to say that we have quite high standards for tea. Taking our love of chai tapri to a whole new level, a number of businesspeople started ventures that went on to become national successes and even established chains abroad.
For many people, "Chai Tapri" is the most popular hangout spot. For most people, the day starts with tea. Over a cup of tea, we try to develop our relationships.
The popularity of tea (chai) has led to the success of several businesses on the market. India is the world's second-largest producer of tea, consuming 8,35000 metric tons annually. There were plenty of coffee shops, but not many tea stores, which gave creative entrepreneurs the opportunity to create successful tea-related businesses.
