Tuktuki Das tried hard to find a job, but she was unsuccessful. Tuktuki chose to open a tea stall after failing to find work despite her qualifications.

She Got Inspired By Prafull Billore aka ‘MBA Chaiwala’

After being inspired by Prafull Billore aka 'MBA Chaiwala' on YouTube, Tuktuki Das hired a modest shop near Habra station and started her own tea stall under the title of 'MA English Chaiwali' on November 1, 2021. Tuktuki gave away free tea to many of her clients on the opening day of her tea shop as a gesture of her gratitude & Happiness.

Earlier Her Family Was Unhappy with Her Decision

Tuktuki's parents weren’t sure about the concept of selling tea. They expressed their sentiments with their educated daughter's decision to operate a Chai Counter.

Tuktuki began persuading her parents that starting her own business was not easy for her. "Initially, I was not satisfied with her decision, we educated her with the expectation that she would become a teacher, but she ended up choosing to sell tea." I paused for a moment, thinking to myself, "If this is her decision to become self-sufficient, then that's great." Said Tuktuki Das's father, Prashanto Das.

Tuktuki was always very confident of her idea to open a tea stall and now, just as her inspiration Prafull Billore aka ‘MBA Chaiwala’ did, even she hopes to expand her idea to many places & become a Successful Entrepreneur.
