In 2009, husband and wife team, Neeraj and Vishaka Argawal saw an urgent need in their hometown of Darjeeling in India.
The city was in need of some major assistance and repairs. They both believed in helping others and bringing an end to
A lot of their success came from learning about and educating themselves as well as providing equal opportunities for all, they put their heads together and raised the funds to start a school to help do what needed to be done.
But -- that alone was not enough to do what really needed to be done.
Dreaming Together
The two were dreamers and both had crazy ideas and things they wanted to accomplish for the company and to help these people who were so near and dear to their hearts.
They started having "pyjama party" - meetings where they discussed all of their world-changing ideas on a much bigger scale.
At one of those meetings, they had their first light bulb moment where the aroma of their Darjeeling tea inspired them to form a social enterprise that would use tea as the medium for bringing about a positive social change.
Their idea was to bring the taste of a wide variety of fine, speciality and flavoured teas to the tea lovers of the world and give them a chance to change the lives of the poor children and empower communities living in and around the tea growing areas
They set Tea People up as a social enterprise and have committed to putting aside at least 50% of the net profits towards all of the social causes that are near and dear to their heart.
