The Maha Kumbh, known as the world’s largest spiritual gathering, has drawn millions of pilgrims, devotees, and vendors alike. Among those making the most of this grand event is content creator Shubham Prajapat, who set out on an unusual experiment—selling tea at the fairgrounds to see how much he could earn in a single day. His revelation of making a ₹5,000 profit in just 24 hours has taken the internet by storm, sparking curiosity and admiration.
How ‘Kumbh Chaiwala’ Made ₹5,000 in a Day?
Prajapat documented his experience in a viral video titled “Selling Tea in Kumbh Mela,” where he shared his journey of setting up a modest tea stall at the fair. The footage shows him selling chai and bottled water from a small cart, catering to the thousands of visitors flocking to Prayagraj.
According to Prajapat, the morning rush brought a steady flow of customers craving a hot cup of tea. However, the afternoon saw a slowdown, allowing him to rest. As evening approached, he took a different approach—moving through the mela to sell more tea, increasing his reach and boosting sales. By the end of the day, he reported selling ₹7,000 worth of tea, pocketing a ₹5,000 profit.
Social Media Reactions: ‘₹1,50,000 Per Month?’
The video quickly gained traction, leaving social media users both surprised and impressed. Many praised his entrepreneurial mindset, while others eagerly calculated his potential monthly earnings.
- One user commented, “If one day brings ₹5,000, then 30 days would mean ₹1,50,000! That’s incredible!”
- Another added, “Kumbh Chaiwala! This reminds me of Dolly Chaiwala, the tea seller from Nagpur who became an internet sensation.”
- A third user joked, “₹7,000 in sales and ₹5,000 in profit? Bro, I think I should quit studying and start this!”
With millions of visitors arriving for spiritual purposes, the Maha Kumbh has also become a thriving hub for small businesses. From street vendors to makeshift stalls, many individuals are finding innovative ways to capitalize on the massive footfall.
Prajapat’s tea-selling experiment serves as a reminder that opportunities exist everywhere—one just needs the right mindset to seize them. His success has inspired many to look beyond conventional business ideas and explore new avenues, even in the most unexpected places.
