It’s not important how you start but how you end up.🎯

One day, your comfort zone will make your life uncomfortable.

When do you know that you are in your comfort zone?

We just love being in our own space, whether it is physically or mentally. We all have experienced this moment when we felt “Nahi ho raha yaar.”

That is nothing but your comfort zone.

But remember, the moment life gives you that tough challenge, the moment someone else achieves what you dream of, the moment when you feel behind in life.

These will be moments when you feel uncomfortable.

You will realise that there are a lot of things in life that you could have achieved if you had pushed your limits. You will realise that there is so much in life that you haven't adapted to yet. Pushing your limits is the most important thing you can do for yourself to grow in life.

Remember, you have to push yourself extra to achieve that extraordinary.

‘’Chal CSB chalte hai’’

How does it feel when you hear the market talking about your product?

When we started CSB, we did no-cost marketing: word of mouth with the help of our friends.

We didn’t even know whether it would work; we were just going with the flow and making the most of our idea.

As always, we were executing our plan, and after a few days, I heard a college students group saying ‘’ Chal Bhai CSB Chalte Hai’’.

That moment was the best, a light of hope in the darkness.

That day I learned that if you are consistent at something and your faith is strong,
Magic Happens.

So if you are in the early stage of your startup or worried about your sales, just be consistent, do not quit.

Because Magic is coming your way!

No, it's not only the externals that affect you.



- The food that you eat.

It builds your body.

- The information or content you consume.

It gives birth to new perceptions.

- The thoughts you tell your mind.

It creates your beliefs.

It's the inputs that shape you and define your output. Always be mindful of them.

One of the hardest things I have done is

Letting my parents down.

My father wanted me to become an IAS officer and go into the service field over choosing a business.

When we thought of starting CSB and dropping UPSC, the biggest burden on me was letting my parent's dream down.

We knew this road either took us to heights or crushed us down.

I was 22, clueless, jobless, and hopeless.

I didn’t make up for my father’s expectations and didn’t know what their reaction would be when they heard about CSB; this was the major reason we didn’t tell our parents.

I didn’t stand on the ideal son image.

But today, I think that burden was only to give my parents a better life.

I was fortunate to follow and succeed in my dream; this made me happy and my parents proud.

My decision to drop out of multiple career options is all worth it.

Today there are zero regrets, and my parents are more than happy like never before.

I choose myself before anyone else; when you are happy, you can make the world happy :)

“You don't sound relevant anymore.”

This makes me very anxious.

In today’s time, when every minute and every second things are changing around the world, it has become very important to be updated.

Especially when you are an entrepreneur, when people know you, look up to you, and have expectations of you, YOU NEED TO BE UPDATED.

You should know what is happening around you and around the globe.

Whether it is about the market, business, people, politics, technology, or almost everything else, I feel very anxious when this thought comes to my mind: “I wouldn’t be relevant anymore if I didn’t stay updated.”

For this, I consistently try to be aware of current events and trends, read books and newspapers, meet different people, and make contacts.

Just to make sure I am upgraded, improved, and always learning.

“DO NOT HUSTLE.“

“Hustle is scary.“

I would say that most people perceive hustle as negative or scary.

What is hustle?

When we hear this word, what we think is that it is constant hard work, no work-life balance, doing multiple things, and only work.

May be this is right, but what is wrong is you believing it as “STRUGGLE.“

What do we have to change?

We should understand that HUSTLE is not a STRUGGLE but our CHOICE.

It is our choice of life and work that will help us fulfil our dreams.

And is this hustle giving you burnout?

That is okay. It is your hustle, and it is in your hands to manage it. You can decide your work, you can decide your breaks, but apne dreams ke liye mehnat apko karni padegi.

So hustle is not struggle but ye aapki mehnat hai jise aap choose karte ho.

3 worst things you can do as an entrepreneur.
 
There are a few things that entrepreneurs are born with, but there are a lot of other things that they learn in their journeys when they actually do business. 
 
First. Not building a team and believing “I will conquer it all alone“ is the wrong attitude for an entrepreneur. I always feel that “Aap shuru akele kar sakte ho par aap chala akele nahi sakte.“
 
You do need a team that takes care of other aspects of your business so that you remain focused on your business's vision. 
 
Second, and one of the worst things, is burning cash without forecasting financial needs. Not investing your funds in the required places and unnecessarily spending on not-so-required things is one very common reason why some startups fail.
 
Be calculative, and always invest in a way that directly or indirectly grows your business. 
 
The last worst thing, in my opinion, is not studying your competitors. When you study your competitors, you sometimes get to know a lot about the market and the industry that you might have missed earlier.
 
Analysing your competitors will always help you with learning, innovation, and opportunities.

Is it important to enjoy your weekends?

Or is it important to work on weekdays?

In the life of an entrepreneur, there are no fixed days that are set for work or relaxation. We can even be working very hard on Sundays, while some Monday mornings might be a little easier for us.

For entrepreneurs, the work is completely unpredictable, and for this reason, I always make sure that I have a balance between my work and my relaxed time.

You could be anything—an entrepreneur, a corporate employee, a professional, a creator, or maybe a freelancer and you could be working or enjoying any day of the week based on your priorities.

What is important here is that you have to find your own balance.  

It’s important to learn the art of evenly distributing your time to different important aspects of your life.

Take time to think before you act!

I love Mountains because they, too, try to touch the height.

At first, it seems the sky is miles away, but the spirit to reach heights is undying.

They inspire me. What about you?

Building a startup is like nurturing a baby with values and good habits.

It happens slowly and gradually; you can’t teach a baby in just a few days. Likewise, startups are built slowly and sustainably.

Because if you hassle, then the chances of failures and disappointments increase.

Sustainable business always has a positive impact on the environment and customers.

It’s okay if your team feels demotivated.

We are all humans, and I feel that demotivation is just one of our emotions.
According to me, these three things can stop demotivation in the team:

→ Give them their time
When we feel low, the one thing we need is time alone so that we can analyse ourselves. Most of the problems are solved by this.

→ Delegate
If the overload of work is causing demotivation, then the very first thing authorities should do is delegate the workload. If you have a team with you, you should definitely learn to delegate. Delegation solves a lot of organisational issues.

→ Take time off
I believe taking time off is a necessity for everyone. Sometimes not thinking about your work helps a lot in your work. Planning team trips will not only help everyone relax but also help build better team bonding.

Demotivation within the team is okay when it can be managed. When both authorities and teammates work on it together, team demotivation can be decreased to a greater extent. Also, it comes with changing patterns and ideas that bring a fresh energy flow to the organisation.

Giant F&B models are ruling the market.

How?

- From a change in the colour of their hair cap to a simple change in the design of their logo
- From the aroma of a dish to their menu presentation
- From the theme of their ambience to the stories displayed on their walls

Each and every single element and its subtle details play a big role and create a huge impact on the brand. Branding is the art that helps businesses stand out in the market. It's like the personality of the brand, where customers experience, connect with, and remember the brand.

Chai Sutta Bar is an example of a dream's appearance in real life.

How I see CSB is very different from how you see it.

How you look CSB:

- A brand that sells tea with a vibe.
- 450+ outlets, good revenue.
- A place where you can chill with your friends

Whereas, For me, CSB is:

- Home and its team is my family.
- A place where I am fully myself, comfortable and candid.
- It’s not just a brand; it’s a workspace of millions of dreams.
- CSB is a medium that connects me with you all.
- CSB is a place where I belong.

You will find dreamy eyes, determination, hard work, struggles, and thousand stories here, including mine.

Chai Sutta Bar is heart, soul, child, father, and everything to me.

Our startup is our Home!
Agree?

One simple hack to become a more customer-friendly brand:

Read customer reviews of top players in your industry, improvise, and act. You will surely have a better product.

Often, brands ignore customers’ feedback, which is a goldmine on the internet.

Starting a business is not the same as it was in 2016.

It's been almost 8 years now, and I believe doing or starting a business has different meanings today.

When we started Chai Sutta Bar, we literally did everything from scratch.

- From approaching customers in different ways to designing our first outlet.
- From painting our own CSB board to serving Chai day and night.
- From selecting vendors to maintaining records on paper

Within the period of these 8 years, a lot many things have changed. Today, we have different AI tools that make tasks easier, creative marketing techniques to attract customers, and various services to support the business.

Also, there are several creative ways in which a business can market itself. With the help of websites, photos, videos, and other social media tools, the businesses of today are amazingly representing themselves.

I am happy that I now have a wonderful team with me that takes care of every single thing about our brand.

And today, I feel all you really need is one fantastic idea to make your business successful. The tools, facilities, and other services are actually very accessible, and you do not have to spend most of your time on them.

A kid with a Dream .

I got confused about which sign to use when I was randomly asked for an autograph in my life for the first time.

In 2021, I was invited to an event in Bhopal;

A kid randomly approached me after the event, and asked for an autograph, handed over the pen and paper to me;

It was a nail-biting moment for me;

I didn’t know what to do!

I was thinking for a second, should I give the same sign I do in my Bank?

I couldn’t even come up with something new at that moment.

Then I told myself that these were kids, and they won’t do any harm with my signature, even if I couldn’t match it in the Bank every other time.

So I justified myself; and gave the autograph;!

That day when I got home, I google; “How to give Autograph.”

I saw a few videos and learned that you have to write something align with the signature as well,

It was a hilarious moment for me;

I wasn’t prepared for an autograph; that incident still gives me laughs; how stupid I was.

“Life got busy, and we lost touch.”

This phrase has become too familiar in today's world. Isn’t it?

We have become so indulgent in life that we have no time to get in touch with old friends.

And We kept losing them,

But is it worth it?

We only get to choose our friends in life, and that's for a reason.

In my life, friends have played a crucial role in my success and building CSB.

I am blessed with great friends, who stood by me every time,

- Be it when we started CSB,

- Be it when Dad got angry,

- Be it when we had no finances to sustain the business.

They were always there,

Physically, Financially, and Emotionally.

“Mai humesha se hi manta hun ki mai apne doston se bahut dhani hun”

Today is Friendship day!

An incredible chance to break the silence between your old friend you haven't talked to for a long time.

Pick up the phone and call them,

I bet you will feel 100X better than now.

And no matter how busy life gets, try to be in touch with a few crazy folks for life.

They are the one who makes your life more joyful and easy.

How excited are you for the Women's Premier League (WPL)?

I am super excited to see our girls in the fields.

The first edition of WPL is going, and what an opportunity for all the young girls to play on a global platform.

This will surely boost the awareness of women’s cricket in India and the world.

I am thrilled to see women of color representing their teams.

I am supporting RCB; which team are you supporting?

You often do not realize, but you forget to do this-

Give yourself time to unwind each day.

As an entrepreneur, I can relate to how we are always hustling, constantly thinking of new ideas, and solving problems.

We indulge ourselves so much in our business that no after-working hours exist for us.

When our time sign-off for the day, we are still working.

But the busiest people realize that the best way to boost productivity is to give yourself time to unwind each day.

When you unplug from work, you give yourself time to decompress, reconnect with loved ones, and reflect.

My ways of unwinding my day are:

- I go for a walk, and sometimes I play cricket.
- Unplug me from the internet for sometime
- If I am home, I make sure to spend more time with my parents and friends
- Read a few pages before going to bed.

And next morning, hitting the work with 2X energy

Do you take time for yourself?

What are your ways to unwind after a long day?
