chai business

Ajmer-resident Shobhit Soni always wanted to start his own company which would be both sustainable, and profit-making. He founded Mittisa, a brand that makes traditional kulhads (clay cups) and sells them across the country. He has also helped set up more than 45 kulhad plants across different states to promote the use of these eco-friendly glasses.

An idea that started off as a ‘chai tapri’ outside a college in Shillong is a multi-crore tea business in Delhi today. Chaai Seth, a brainchild of Arpit Raj and his friends, has outlets in 27 Indian states.
