You put it nicely. Its a great enterprise they make, there is always a chai wallah at the railway station, office buildings, construction sites. It is also interesting to note College & university students have a cult following for their chai wallah. When alumni visit their alma matter, a trip to the chai wallah is a must.
- happy-go-lucky 9y agoThe same chai wallahs are quite well-off, you may not know. Please wake up :)
- unlimit 9y agoOh yes, we know of some chai wallahs who make more than the chai drinking IT guys. I know some of them have multiple properties.
- happy-go-lucky 9y agoYou are right. Those chai wallahs would laugh away all these comments.
- happy-go-lucky 9y agoThere are chai wallahs who rent out their properties to the top IT companies in India. I worked for one such company and regularly had tea with those wallahs. Their shops are still just outside the company's premises :)
- superasn 9y agoReminds me of the paranthewalla (an Indian bread) and maggiwala outside IIT Delhi who certainly had a huge cult following in 2000. He used to be so popular because he was the only vendor in town open at 3am serving hot paranthas to students. Very enterprising guy.
