Chai Kings are expanding rapidly in Chennai with the target of 100 stores in 5 years. “Sadique and Balaji have built a strong brand with Chai Kings, which has a potential to scale given the vast consumption base. We look forward to working with the team and helping them scale up their operations,” said Piyush Bhandari, who lead the investment from The Chennai Angels.

“We plan on setting up additional stores to cater to folks in IT parks, malls and few stores in high streets, at a faster pace. There is going to be a sea of new product launches as well” said Balaji Sadagopan, Co-Founder & COO.
