‘Kumbh Chaiwala’ claims ₹5,000 daily profit selling tea, eyes ₹1.5 lakh monthly

A man named Shubham Prajapat surprised everyone by claiming he made ₹5,000 profit in a single day by selling tea at the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj. He shared a video of his experience, showing how he set up a small tea stall and sold chai and water bottles to visitors. His claim sparked a huge discussion online, with people calculating his potential monthly earnings.

Tea business experiment at Mahakumbh

Mahakumbh is known as the world's largest gathering, attracting millions of people from across the country. Among them are many vendors who set up stalls to sell various items to the crowd. Prajapat, a content creator, decided to experiment and see how much money he could make by selling tea for a day.

In his video, he explained his strategy. During the morning hours, many people came to his tea stall, giving him good sales. However, the afternoon was slow, so he took some time to rest. By evening, he started moving around the fair to sell more tea. At the end of the day, he claimed to have sold tea worth ₹7,000 and made a profit of ₹5,000.

His earnings amazed many people, with one viewer doing the math and saying, “If one day’s profit is ₹5,000, then in 30 days, it would be ₹1,50,000!” Another person excitedly asked, “₹1,50,000 per month?” Someone else even gave him the nickname “Kumbh Chaiwala,” comparing him to "Dolly Chaiwala," a tea seller from Nagpur who became famous for his unique tea-making style.

Online reactions and viral discussions

Many people found his story inspiring, while some were shocked by his profit margin. One person commented, “₹7,000 in sales and ₹5,000 profit? Wow!” Another jokingly wrote, “Bro is making me want to quit studying and start selling tea.” Some users even considered trying the same business strategy themselves.

Earlier, a woman named Monalisa Bholse also went viral after a blogger shared her video. She was selling necklaces at Mahakumbh but had to leave early due to the overwhelming crowd. Unlike Prajapat, her sudden popularity did not help her business, as managing too many people became difficult.

Mahakumbh continues to be a place where not only pilgrims but also vendors and small business owners find opportunities. Stories like these show how the festival can be a place of both devotion and entrepreneurship.
