More about Darshan Dashani

Tea Post is the brain-child of Rajkot based businessman Darshan Dashani who fell in love with tea first and then came up with the idea of setting up tea cafes to sell tea. With over 160 outlets spread across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh , Tea Post is one of the fastest food startups to make its mark across the region. The idea behind starting a tea cafe or a tea kisok was simple - we wanted to serve good quality tea and snacks at competitive rates and cater to the out of home tea craving for students, office goers, senior citizens and families. Our aim is to facilitate the availability of hygienic tea, food along with a nice and inexpensive place to hang out. We wanted to become a part of everyone's day-to-day life and we did.


The way Mr. Dashani puts it, "When I travelled abroad I Saw people getting their daily caffeine fix and breakfast from cafes and I realised we could bring this culture to India also. I just tweaked it by serving regular Indian tea and food items and we were all set to roll."

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
