I was walking down the streets of Kolkata when I saw an old Lady selling Muri and Chops for ₹10.
I suggested “Why don’t you also start selling Chai? People would love to have it along with Chops and Muri and you can increase your products and sales!”
Sounded brilliant to me! That’s what I had learned in my College “Earn money from various sources”
She told me “Bhaiya, mere baaju Mei ek Chai wala hai. Agar mai chai bechungi toh wo kya krega?! Uska pura ghar bas Chai ke bharose chalta hai!!
(There is a man who sells tea beside me. If I start selling it, what will he sell? His whole family depends on it!)
I was dumbstruck!!
Today, I learned that it is not a market, where people think: Let me start this business, extend my brand to multiple products and capture a higher market share!
These guys know that to Co-exist you need to fulfill everyone’s needs and not be selfish in filling your stomach. A street entrepreneur knows when it is enough!!
This is India, Where Humanity prevails over Profits!
