Zepo, which is an eCommerce website building platform, is behind this initiative. Zepo was started in 2011 by Nitin Purswani and is a Morpheus Gang Company. The dedication and discipline which the chaiwalas followed from sunrise to sunset in serving tea to hundreds and hundreds of people inspired Zepo to start ChotuChaiWala.com.Chotu Chai Wala started its operations in May this year by tying up with 4 different chaiwalas in Bandra region of Mumbai. There eCommerce website is fully functional with all the products and features neatly listed. All the profits that Zepo makes from ChotuChaiWala.com directly goes to the tea vendors. In future, it has a plan of including coffee and savory items in its menu and expanding its reach to other cities of the country.
Chotu Chai Wala started its operations from Bandra because it is one of the biggest business centres in the city with a lot of offices. They started out by approaching local tea vendors with their idea and within a few days of hard work, four tea vendors agreed to buy an online store which Zepo helped setup. In order to promote and market their online store to customers, Zepo also provided the tea vendors with customized paper cups and T Shirts.
Social Media was used to spread the word around. Recently, Zepo also hosted a Twitter Competition to promote the website and the hashtag #ChotuGoesOnline was trending on Twitter for most of the day.
The number of orders on the website keeps growing from day to day. As soon as they receive an order, they forward the details of the order to one of the chaiwalas based on delivery address through an SMS and then they take it up from there.
ChotuChaiWala.com believes when tradition meets technology, it’s a win for society.
