The Behind Story…

There’s an interesting story behind this little tea shop. Partha Pratim Ganguly, the owner of the tea stall, had left his job to start his own business. He had planned to open a regular tea stall with a twist. Ganguly launched Nirjash in 2014 and it is super successful today. According to ETV Bharat, Ganguly has said,  ”Who doesn’t get bored with a rigid life! I often discussed with my friends about starting this outlet. My peer group casually suggested me to open a tea shop.” Ganguly not only sells the teas, but he is also highly knowledgable about the antioxidant properties of each tea variant. His shop is in proximity to two prominent hospitals in Mukundapur and thus is a regular joint for many doctors.
