Neha Bhatts AMPU TEA SPREADING HOPE AND POSITIVITY

If you ever get a chance to go to Ahmedabad, make sure to carve out some time to visit the Sabarmati River Front, a place where you’ll find a tea stall with the name “Ampu Tea,” proudly run by a very strong and powerful woman, Neha Bhatt. The name of her tea stall carries with it a powerful and motivating story, one that epitomises resilience and spirit to never give up.

Around two years ago in 2021, Neha Bhatt was leading a happy life, content as a dedicated teacher at a Montessori school in Gandhinagar. Life had bestowed no complaints upon her. However, fate took the most unexpected turn. On one unfortunate day, while she was travelling between Ahmedabad to Mahuva in Saurashtra, she met with an accident.

The GSRTC bus, which she was travelling in, collided with a truck coming from the opposite side. Bhatt, seated in the front row, bore the brunt of the impact and suffered critical injuries. Due to excessive bleeding, her left leg had to be amputated.

Resilient Neha refused to be defeated by adversity. She started a crowdfunding campaign and raised 10 lakh rupees to undergo medical procedures and get a prosthetic leg.

With her teaching career no longer an option, she knew she had to carve a new path for her. So she started a tea stall at the riverfront with the help of her parents. Here's what Neha has to share with all of us:
