Navnath Yewle, a chaiwala from Pune and co-founder of Yewle Tea house, has set a new benchmark for his competitors by making Rs. 12 lakh per month, more than an average person's salary in India.

Yewle Tea house has become one of the famous stalls in Maharashtra's city.

The tea seller Yewle said it not long before he makes his tea house into an international brand.

Unlike 'pakora' business, this tea selling business is also creating employment for Indians. This business is growing fast and I'm happy. - Navnath Yewle.

At present, Yewle Tea House has got three centers in the city and every center has about twelve employees working in it.

CHAI AND PAKODAS

Not too long ago, PM Modi in a statement had said that selling 'pakodas' is a form of employment.

In an interview to a television channel, Modi had said, "If a person selling pakodas (snacks) earns Rs 200 at the end of the day, will it be considered employment or not?"

Modi's claim drew widespread flak from the opposition with leaders calling it a "cruel joke" and as good as begging, and soon, 'pakoda politics' began.
