What
made you start up this unique venture? Any Specific reason for this name?
As I Grown in a Business family from Young age I had always had a Passion of becoming

some how we Planned of starting Tea Truck our Plan is to tie up with Cycle Chai

How
do you think the hospitality Industry in India?
It’s
growing well, in India the people have massive opportunities in hospitality
industry, and people should come up with something new in the market.
What’s
your suggestion for upcoming Entrepreneurs?
As an entrepreneur, everyone’s have
an idea but execution is very
important. And when I started my venture, the market was bad and I
dint care about market up or down, because of
a recession is the best time to start your own business. The real
Entrepreneurs emerge when times are bad. Because Entrepreneurs don’t really
care if the market up or down, they are creating better products and better
processes. So when somebody says,”oh” there’s less opportunity now”, it’s
because they’re losers. So I suggest people “Believe in yourself” if you have a thought of something to
start, you should not post pond, because market is not like before, if you
don’t enter in right time then someone will enter your market. The technology
is upgraded. Take my word What motivated you to choose this chai
specialist? Not other domain in Hospitality Industry We came up with the concept of concept
of chai after an intense research of about two years. Our findings show that
chai is the basic need of human.
