Arshad Khan, famously known as "Chaiwala," has achieved a remarkable milestone in his business journey by securing a Rs 10 million investment for his tea brand on the Pakistani version of Shark Tank. Known for his striking blue eyes and humble beginnings as a tea vendor, Arshad captured the nation’s attention in 2016 when a candid photo of him making tea at a roadside stall in Islamabad went viral. Since then, he has used his fame to fuel an inspiring entrepreneurial path.

On Shark Tank Pakistan, Arshad presented his tea brand, Chaiwala & Co., and shared his vision to make it an international symbol of Pakistani street culture.

He explained that the decision to open in London was a strategic one, aimed at capturing the attention of both the South Asian diaspora longing for a taste of home and local customers curious about Pakistani culture. The café's design and décor incorporate elements of Pakistani street aesthetics, which enhances its appeal to a diverse audience and distinguishes it in a competitive market.
