Three Engineering Graduates From Kerala Open B.Tech Chai Stall; Offer 50 Types Of Tea

Inspiring are those people who always rise up despite the obstacles thrown at them. The Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences created havoc in the lives of people. With jobs lost, salaries slashed, there were stories of hopelessness and sadness doing the rounds. But there were individuals who decided to open another door if one closed. Three engineering graduates from Kerala, who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, decided to use this opportunity to grow. Anandu, Mohammed Shafi and his brother Shanavas opened a B.Tech Chai stall in Kollam that sells 50 flavours of tea at pocket-friendly prices. Here’s their inspiring story.

Three Engineers Opened Chai Stall In Kerala After Losing Jobs Due To Covid-19

Anandu revealed to Indiatimes, that losing one’s job isn’t necessarily the end of one’s dreams. It can instead give a person a different opportunity to grow. His life is a fine example of his words. Anandu and Shafi were classmates while pursuing B.Tech Electrical Engineering. The friends started working at tech companies but unfortunately lost their jobs before the lockdown. Shafi’s brother Shanavas also worked as an engineer before he lost his job. Instead of cribbing about their lost jobs, the friends decided to make the most of their situation, that’s when B.Tech Chai was born.

Entrepreneurs Plan To Open More Franchises & Develop Brand

B.Tech Chai stall witnesses huge crowds of people, eager to try the special chai. With chai starting from just ₹9 and the most exotic one costing ₹45, the prices are indeed pocket-friendly. The three engineers are now working on developing B.Tech Chai as a brand. They want to have more franchises in other districts of Kerala as well. But Anandu revealed to Indiatimes that the journey hasn’t been easy. His father is angry with him for opening a chai stall instead of working in a firm. While his father still doesn’t talk to him, he hopes the success of the chai stall will change his mind. Well, we do hope that day isn’t far. Meanwhile, the next time you’re in Kerala do try out B.Tech Chai.
