Ltd.

Founded in November 2012, Chaayos was conceived as a modern interpretation of the traditional chai adda, where people gathered to enjoy a cup of chai and engage in meaningful conversations. The brand set out to re-imagine the chai experience by offering a highly personalized approach, with its promise of 'Meri Wali Chai', which allows customers to choose from over 80,000 combinations of tea.
Over the past decade, Chaayos has grown exponentially and now operates over 200 cafes across India, to reach 1,000 cafes in the coming years. The brand's success is largely attributed to its commitment to innovation, customer-centricity, and the ability to adapt to changing consumer preferences.
