In March 2020, the pandemic changed everything. People lost their loved ones and even their jobs. Mud Cups began as a conversation between a sister and brother who wanted to start something of their own. The idea was to start something that was connected to the people, which was not just organic but would also play a special role in people’s lives.
They realised that in India, nobody can live without two things – cricket and chai. These two C’s have been driving India since the start and this is not going to be changing any time soon.
Mud Cups began as a small venture but soon the lovely taste of tea and snacks left a mark on people’s hearts. Today, Mud Cups sells more than 25k teas daily. A small dream of two friends has become a movement that aims to empower people with jobs and to start their own business.
To create a world where every cup and every bite brings comfort, connection, and joy — building spaces that inspire community and empower individuals to turn their passion into meaningful success.

In the middle of a pandemic when things were too uncertain around us, the storm set heavy. Our group of friends, who were working for corporate companies, lost their jobs. By investing our so-called PFs and a little bit of piggy savings that we had, we created this most favourite dream tea joint, 'MUD CUPS'!
Our vision was to create something which is more connected to people and also affordable to all walks of life — be it someone driving down in a Mercedes or arriving in a rickshaw or by walk, everyone should be able to experience and cherish it.
We did not have a name board on the first day of the launch because of a shortage of funds, and our lovely Bengalureans said, "We see a group of motivated young minds serving Chai with pride." Also, on the first day, we could not buy forks for Maggi because of funds — and again, our lovely customers said, "Well, who needs a fork when God has given us hands?"
Our customers supported us unconditionally with love, the same as they support and love RCB. Anytime you feel lost — please don't forget we are here. We are here to join your hands in the form of a job or in the form of creating your own business. Oh, and also, we are here to share your love stories around the table over a lovely cup of Chai.
