Nikunj Sharma’s Tea Startup Empowers Physically Challenged People

Nikunj Sharma is a resident of Indore, Madhya Pradesh. He quit his high-paying job to open his very own tea business.

Nikunj’s friend, Mohit, an alumnus of IIT, was writing a thesis on the study of tea market.

Nikunj shared the idea of opening a tea stall with Mohit. In September 2021, the duo started selling tea in the Gorakhpur city of UP.

Before owning an outlet, Nikunj and Mohit sold tea at affordable rates on a handcart.

Nikunj Sharma provides employment opportunities to people with diabilities in his tea outlets.

Nikunj shares that in the near future, he will only employ people with disabilities at his cafes to empower them. 

Nikunj Sharma faced significant challenges in establishing his tea outlets in the market.
