Failures and Struggle

Struggle

Rohit’s journey of establishing a renowned brand “Chaiwalas” was not facile or a fluke, but his success was a consequence of his perseverating and persisting actions despite numerous failures and hurdles he faced. Rohit attributes his success to his repeated failures. He believes – “Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.” When Rohit confronted his desire to do a business and open a tea shop in front of his family, his family strongly opposed it.

Some relatives came forward to do business together at that time, but as soon as they heard about the opening of a tea shop, they too stepped back. But Rohit knew that this was the only way he can help his family in finances and hence, with great difficulty, he rented a shop in Jaipur. As soon as he rented the shop, his grandfather had an accident, and all the money raised for the business went towards his treatment. He was forced to give up his intention at that time. As soon as his grandfather recovered, he immediately returned to Jaipur and starts his startup again with the help of his mother urmila sharma and his friend Shubham Sharma.

Covid-19 pandemic was a bane for humanity. It not only caused the death of millions of people, but also a huge number of startups went closed forever. “Chaiwalas” was not an exception to it. After becoming famous, as soon as Rohit gave his first franchise, there was a lockdown, and he had to cancel that deal. This affected him adversely, and he got paralysis due to mental pain and was physically broken. But due to his dauntless and gallant courage, he worked hard again and set new heights of success. He gives this credit to fight this situation to his wife Deepali Sharma and his father Hitendra mohan sharma.
