Known for serving the best chai in India, Prafull Billore
Young Indian businessman and social media influencer Prafull Billore. ‘MBA Chaiwala’ is the name of the tea distribution business he founded. He asserts that selling tea throughout India is his ultimate objective. His strong love of tea and failure on the CAT admission test inspired him to start selling tea all throughout India.
Prafull’s original business concepts, including “Mehfil-e-Kavita,” “Free Tea for Singles,” and “Youth Entrepreneurship Sessions,” contributed to his rise to fame. On January 14, 1996, Prafull Billore was born in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. At Devi His Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore, he earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2016.
Mr. Prafull said that he started his preparation for the CAT (Common Entrance Examination) and the GMAT (Graduate Management Entrance Examination) in 2016. However, he claimed that despite his best efforts, he failed the CAT exam.
At the age of 20, Prafull was dissatisfied with the results of his CAT test and found it very challenging to study for his bachelor’s degree. This loss made him even more determined to launch his own company. After contemplating for 50 days, he decided to build his own tea store after being persuaded by a well-known American to start working at McDonald’s. He made a total of 300 sales on the first day.
On the second day, the client was introduced to chai in English before the discussion began. His strategy worked, and there was usually a queue of people waiting to sample his teas and see how he sold them.
Madhya Pradesh’s Indore is where Prafull Billore was born and reared. Prafull was a salesperson with Amway.
Prafull has given speeches at venues including IIM, IIT, Josh Talks, TEDxKIET (shared with Nitin Gadkari), TEDxMDIGurgaon, and Lovely Professional University as of the year 2022.
In 2016, Praful travelled extensively, using buses, trains, and rickshaws as necessary and depleting all of her funds in the process. He feels that conversing with and meeting new individuals has really enriched his perspective. Prafull Billore directs a programme for entrepreneurship training that encourages innovation across Chai Thela.
Prafull also established her MBA Chaiwala Academy. He asserts that his significant following on social media and via his use of motivational speaking tours have made his brand more recognisable.
Starting with just 8,000 rupees, Mr. Prafull’s MBA Chai Wala has grown to have a turnover of over 3 million rupees.
He also released a book of his own, All You Need is Josh. He has run political campaigns with the governments of Delhi and Bihar, sponsored charitable events for the underprivileged and cancer patients, and raised money for Kerala disaster relief.
In addition to founding a chai ka thela, Prafull Billore is a remarkable individual who demonstrated the value of tea in everyday life.
