Our Story
Chai Nagri began as a simple dream over endless cups of chai at a humble thadi. We were two middle-class childhood friends who became engineers, with nothing but ₹35,000, big dreams, and the courage to say no to comfort and yes to chaos. We quietly left our well-paid jobs without telling our parents, took taunts on the chin, “Engineering karke chai bech rahe ho?” from friends and society, and opened a tiny tea stall in Panchkula. We faced losses, rejections, and even a near collapse during the COVID-19 pandemic. But we kept going, not knowing we were scripting the first page of a national brand's story. Today, Chai Nagri is more than just a café chain; it is an emotion, a movement. From ₹90 a day to ₹3 lakh a day. From 1 employee to a 140+ strong family.
From one stall to 30+ Running Outlets across 7 States in India. Our journey has been full of burnt fingers, broken cups, and breakthrough moments. And the best part? We have done all of this by ourselves with no outside investors. Just belief, consistency, and our Indian spirit. It wasn’t just our cafés that kept us going; it was the love and support of people around us that made us believe in something bigger! A thought sparked: “Why limit ourselves to cafés? Why not dream global?” And that is how our journey into premium retailing of the best quality tea leaves and gifting began! From serving India’s biggest corporate names to exporting globally, what began as a humble university stall is now proudly finding its place on shelves across the world.

Culture
At Chai Nagri, our culture is our secret Kadak ingedreant, people-first, purpose-driven, and always engaged (either in work or sipping flavours). Here, every voice counts, ideas are welcomed, credit is shared, and feedback is candid. We learn fast, improve faster, and treat mistakes as data. A job is a life lesson, and our culture reflects that; we learn things here that carry into our personal lives. Above all, we show up, listening deeply, solving quickly, and creating moments that are worth safekeeping.
Sustainability
Here, sustainability is not a PR campaign - it is our operating system. Our disposables are plastic-free, made from bagasse, bamboo, and recycled paper without plastic coatings. In our loose-leaf teas, we didn’t use a microplastic tea bag and included a reusable stainless-steel infuser and spoon to reduce single-use. Tins are durable and refillable, and coasters are eco-friendly.
