Welcome to the 2nd episode of our show - HOW THE HELL DID I DO IT? Hosted by our Founder and CEO, Karishma Mehta.
Our 2nd guest is actually India’s most known chaiwala - Prafull Billore aka MBA Chaiwala!
In this insightful conversation, Prafull will take you through his larger than life experiences, his simple life mantra and the tips and tricks he followed to build his chai ka thela into a multi-crore business.
Prafull also shares with us what it is like being the new youth icon while working on his next goal - #HarGharStartup.
Take this episode as a sign to not give up and go after that dream that’s keeping you up!
“How The Hell Did I Do It?” is a Humans of Bombay Original - a talk show where we speak with the dreamers, the pioneers, the go-getters and the never-say-no’ers from all walks of life. We discuss their journeys - the highs, the lows and everything in between. And through our candid conversations, we try to decode the human behind the name, and get pretty close to figuring out - How The Hell Did They Do It?

About Humans of Bombay:
Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 8 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres - stories of love, hope, faith and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 4.5M!
Our idea is simple - to strike a chord with our community and catalog the beat of humanity, one story at a time.
