We have often heard stories of entrepreneurs who decided to not go the MBA route and made it big in their life. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX thinks that MBA graduates actually do not have the experience to run a successful business or create a good product. We got someone today who walked on the same path. Prafull Billore gave up his MBA dreams quite early in life after a series of failures and decided that he is going to own a tea stall and make a brand for himself.

Watch this candid conversation that Prafull had with Purnangshu Paul at InsideIIM headquarters to understand his journey a bit better, how it all started and how MBA Chaiwala became the second most famous Chaiwala in the country.

Listen to Prafull on how he learnt the nuances of business while working on his tea stall, what should the present generation keep in mind while starting a business and what is that one roadblock that stops people from making it big in life.
