From Street Side to Startup: Dolly Chaiwala Goes National
In a remarkable journey from Nagpur’s bustling streets to national headlines, Dolly Chaiwala, the flamboyant tea vendor who went viral for his dramatic tea-serving flair, has now launched a nationwide franchise model under the same brand name. Touted as India’s first viral street brand, Dolly’s move blends street culture, digital fame, and entrepreneurship in an unprecedented way.
Speaking at the launch event, Dolly said, “Chai is not just a beverage, it’s an emotion in India. I want to take that emotion nationwide.” He further emphasized his dream of offering aspiring entrepreneurs across India a chance to run their own Dolly Chaiwala outlet and ride the wave of his viral popularity.
A Franchise with a Twist
Unlike conventional tea franchises, the Dolly Chaiwala brand stands out with its unique identity. Outlets will replicate Dolly’s signature colorful attire, quirky mannerisms, and even customized carts that reflect his flamboyant style.
Franchisees will receive branding kits, digital marketing support, and training to recreate the Dolly experience. Early responses have been enthusiastic, especially among millennials and Gen Z who already engage with his content across social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube.
The Business of Going Viral
The digital age has transformed ordinary individuals into national icons. Dolly Chaiwala is the latest example of turning social media virality into a viable business model. His millions of views and followers are now translating into real-world foot traffic and revenue.
According to insiders, more than 100 franchise inquiries have already been submitted across Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. The franchise is also eyeing international expansion in countries with large Indian diaspora populations.

Not Without Criticism
However, the move has not been without skepticism. Critics argue that virality doesn’t always equate to business success. Some online users have dismissed the concept as a passing fad, suggesting Dolly’s brand may struggle in the long run without sustained innovation.
Still, Dolly remains confident: “People said I was just another chaiwala, now I’m a brand. I believe India is ready for chai with swag.”
