Educated unemployment is one of the major issues in many Indian states. And Tuktuki Das from Kolkata’s Habra was bearing the brunt of it. After completing a Masters degree in English, Tuktuki appeared for several exams to land a job. But after trying everything, she failed to get one. But Tuktuki wasn’t the one to give up all hopes. She decided to open her own business and become self-reliant. Taking inspiration from the famous MBA Chaiwala, she opened her very own tea stall at Habra station and named it ‘MA English Chaiwali’. The very name of the tea shop attracts many customers towards it.
