How did your venture Chai Walli happen? Did you at any stage have doubts that it would work in a largely coffee-drinking country?
The idea never struck me like a light bulb business idea moment. Chai is integral to India. Growing up as a first-generation migrant, it was important to strike a balance between the hybrid Indian-Australian I was. So, I took our beautiful chai and used it to share the rich Indian culture in Australia. When I started out, I had no intention of turning it into a business, I simply had a mission — I was a chai crusader saving Australia from bad chai. But life had other plans for me and has taken me on a roller coaster ride through entrepreneurship.
