After losing the job as a security guard the boy opens a Tea corner. Which brings success to him. He started to deliver tea in the corporate area and customers started to Love his delivery process.
Revan Shinde used to be a security guard until the company shut down in 2019 and as a result, he lost his job. After this to pay his and families bills he started a business tea stall in 2020. It was not easy to get success because of COVID-19.
He says that “After some relaxation in the lockdown and re-opening of offices, it became difficult for the common man to get tea. In this situation, seeing the response of people, we decided to provide free tea and coffee. Now we sell 700 cups of tea per day”.
Highlights:- • From security guard to chaai-wala.
• Earns 2 lakhs monthly.
• Five employees.
• Tea delivery to the office.
Problem faced during a lockdown: Revan Shinde said that 6 years ago he came to Pune along with his sister and brother for a job. Then he started a job as a security guard in a company with a salary of 12000. But after losing the job he started his own tea corner in 2020.
Later, as the epidemic escalated, a lockdown was imposed and all the savings of Revan began to run out. In this situation, after taking a break of a few months, by June, Revan returned to his work. He says as a small businessman who recently started his business COVID-19 made it more difficult.
The city was slowly getting back to normal and few people started working.
However, even then due to health concerns, workers in the industrial and banking sectors were worried about going to their nearest tea vendors. To solve this problem he started to deliver tea to the customer’s address.
Started with giving free tea:- One should know how to run his business properly. Revan Shinde knows it very well. To attract the customer to his chai corner he started his business by giving free tea to his customer’s first purchase.
He continued the practice of giving free tea for two months. As a result, the customer started to call Revan for an order. The customer gets the delivery within 10 minutes of the call, between Pimpri-Chinchwad. Delivery tea is a new concept.
But the problem is the tea was delivered in plastic bags, which is unhealthy for people.so Revan started to reach out to his customers with Thermos and paper cups to make his customers happy.
And the first serving is always free. Revan used to distribute tea to his customers from banks, industrials and commercial areas.
The customer was happy after seeing his serving process. Thus giving him new customers.
IN Revan’s Tea corner there is garlic tea, milk tea and later added hot milk. The price of the small tea is 6 rs, and the big cup is 10 rs.
In an interview, Revan said that-“The customers who tried my tea were happy about the hygienics and safe delivery to their desk without the fear of health risk.”
six months after doing this, Revan started selling about 700 cups of tea daily. Now He is earning Rs 2 lakh per month. Where the total profit amount is around 50 thousand .
He has 5 employees now to match his demand for tea delivery. After this huge success, He says that it wouldn’t have been possible without his elder brother who works as a delivery partner. His brother encourages him a lot to start his own business.
A 28-year-old man came from Maharashtra and make his own identity in Pune. Revan Shinde is now all set to expand his business. He now helps poor students from his village. And who move here to study?
