The young man decided to leave his corporate job at Teleperformance, where he earned around Rs 38,000 a month, in May to start his own venture rather than looking for another office role. He invested about Rs 2 lakh to set up a simple tea stall near an auto stand.
The tea stall sells around 400 cups daily, generating a daily revenue of about Rs 6,000 and a monthly turnover of roughly Rs 1.8 lakh. After accounting for expenses such as rent, staff salaries, and raw materials, the entrepreneur makes a monthly net profit of close to Rs 1 lakh.
While the business initially started by selling normal tea for Rs 10 and special tea for Rs 20, it has since expanded its menu. The shop has added a separate counter offering popular snack items like vada pav, samosas, and jalebis.
