Dubai: The UAE and India share a long history of close cultural and commercial ties. And two friends living in Dubai decided to give up their thriving corporate careers to create a delectable fusion of the two cultures very much in keeping with the long tradition of friendship and bonhomie between the two nations.
Meet Emirati Ahmed Kazim and Indian expat Justin Joseph, founders of a homegrown tea concept called Project Chaiwala. The company launched in 2017 takes tea to a whole new level. For the record, the word “chaiwala” is a Hindi term, a literal translation of which means “the tea person” and Project Chaiwala has a lot to do with the nostalgic charm of street tea cafes in India. What Kazim has done is take traditional recipes of Indian tea, snacks and spread them out in a modern setting.
