Tpot - 5 star quality tea service, roadside price | Fusion - WeRIndia

Tpot is a start up from Delhi. As the punny name suggests, it is based around tea.

Tea or Chai is an important part of Indian culture. Many people have it in their breakfast or in the evening.

Ever since the British introduced this drink, Indians became obsessed with it. India consumes 837,000 tonnes of tea every year.

Three friends, Robin Jha, Asad Khan and Atit Kumar wanted to get into entrepreneurship in this sector.

With an initial investment of ₹25 lakh, the trio built their first outlet and named it Tpot in Delhi.

The outlet served tea and snacks.

Tea has a lot of demand as they say. The concept was that they offered five star quality services at roadside prices.

Tpot serves in the price range of ₹49 to 115 for tea and snacks at a price of ₹49.

After running the first outlet for 13 months, Robin wanted to plan out his expansion.

The three co-founders focused on using the customers’ feedback and to make it more affordable.

After planning for a year, they started working on the business model and expansion plans.

At present, Tpot has 25 outlets across Delhi-NCR. They are planning to add five more outlets in the city soon.

The company gets 3,500 transactions in their 25 outlets every day. It makes about ₹50 lakh every month.

At present, the tea chain is planning to raise more capital from investors so they can continue expansion.

The company is aiming to do a total investment of $3.5 million over the next 15-18 months and double its revenue in the next four months with more outlets.

Their long term aim is to reach a revenue of ₹100 crore in the next three years.

They are aiming to go to other cities and also start it at areas like metro stations and malls.
