In a country where chai is practically sacred, who would’ve imagined that tiny tapioca pearls could create such a nationwide stir? Yet, here we are, watching the meteoric rise of Boba Bhai India’s bold new beverage brand that’s redefining how we sip our tea.
A Sip of Innovation
Born from the vision of Dhruv Kohli, Boba Bhai launched in October 2023 with one mission: to make bubble tea not just a drink, but a lifestyle. Fast forward just six months, and this quirky, colorful brand has already expanded to 25 outlets across major cities like Delhi, Gurugram, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Udaipur.
The numbers speak volumes over 50,000 orders every month, many of them from first-time bubble tea enthusiasts discovering a vibrant new way to indulge.
Not Just Tea It’s a Whole Vibe
Step into a Boba Bhai outlet, and you’re stepping into a world of flavor, fun, and flair. The brand boasts an exciting menu of 45+ artistic flavors, from the creamy comfort of Taro Lava to the spicy kick of Chili Alphonso Mango Iced Tea each one a story in a cup.
And it’s not just about drinks. Hungry? Their K-Pop Burgers, with their bold, spicy flavors, are a viral snack waiting to happen.
Even cooler? Boba Bhai keeps it sustainable with eco-friendly packaging, so you can sip, snack, and chill with a clean conscience.
