In almost every developed and fast city such as Mumbai, Chandigarh, Delhi, Pune and Banglore, many cutting chai stalls or tapirs are opened throughout the night to meet night cravings of chai lovers.
Thus, similar was the case with duo when they got an idea to open chai stall.
“We were just taking a stroll at night and craving for a cup of tea, but we could not find a place at the time.
That's when we thought of opening our own stall here," said Sharma, who hails from Haryana.
Moreover, what attracts the chai lovers, is not just the unique and luxurious idea of selling ‘OD Tea,’ but the taste of the tea also attracted the customers.
“I have been coming here to have tea for the last two months because it tastes amazing. Every time I pass by this area, I have to have their tea," one of the customers said.
