What's Your Brand Story?
"I want my brand story to be ari upnetipicage. What would you want your employees to go out and say what we value most in the culture that we've created is his ownership?" says Kalgata, her maakamalik im iam iam. "Ownership idem actually better than nothing," she adds.
Hi Guys! In this latest episode of Figuring Out Podcast we are in conversation with Nitin Saluja and Raghav Verma, Co-Founder of Chaayos and we have discussed:
-How to kill competition?
-How to build a brand and what brands can learn from legendary brands like Apple and Co-Cola?
-How Chaayos became India's first technology enabled chai business?
Chaayos – “Experiment with Chai is” is one of the fastest growing tea startups of India. Chaayos is an initiative by two techies – Nitin Saluja and Raghav Verma graduated from IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi respectively. Before the foundation of Chaayos, they used to work in a US consulting firm Opera Solutions. Nitin, for the matter of fact, was always a chai freak.
During this phase, Nitin met Raghav Verma through a friend in common who was also working for the US consulting firm Opera Solutions. They both shared the idea and were convinced to kick it off this craziest idea on the floor of entrepreneurship. They both quit the top paying US based IT job and gave their every ounce of blood to their startup. They named their startup – CHAAYOS and the first outlet store was opened in November 2012 in Gurgaon.
