Arshad said that he wanted to offer the authentic ‘Chai Dhaba’ experience to its customers with his brand both locally and globally.
Speaking about the cafe in London, the enterprising Chaipreneuer stated that he wanted to bring the homely experience of the bustling streets of Pakistan to the South Asian diaspora in the UK. The cafe integrates elements of Pakistani street aesthetics in its design and decor. He narrated how the business took a hit during the pandemic in 2020 but bounced back in no time with three outlets in London that run on a franchisee model, earning him PKR 35k with five percent royalty.
At the show, along with business partner Kazim Hasan, he demanded PKR 1 crore (about INR 30 lakh) for five percent equity in his brand. While Sharks Junaid Iqbal and Faisal Aftab appreciated the business but pulled off a Namita Thapar (IYKYK), Sharks Rabeel Warriach and Romanna Dada’s offer of 1 crore for a 25 per cent equity. From tea seller to entrepreneur, Arshad Khan, the famous "Chai Wala," has taken his business to new heights by securing a deal worth Rs.
