Amuleek Singh, the founder and current CEO of Chai Point is a Harvard Graduate. After he obtained his engineering degree from Thapar University, Punjab, India, he worked with Microsoft for some time. After this once he completed his MBA from Harvard, that's when he wanted to work on a startup.
Chai (Tea) is an integral part of a large majority of Indian home and different varieties of teas are also not alien to most of the Indians.
