Chai Sutta Bar celebrates all-women outlet in Mohali
Mumbai: Chai Sutta Bar (CSB), one of the world’s largest tea businesses, is pleased to announce the opening of an all-women store in Mohali. Franchise owner Deepika runs the outlet after leaving her job in Chandigarh to establish her own after being inspired by a CSB outlet near her office. The all-women shop is located in Mohali’s Phase 3B2, S.A.S Nagar. The store exemplifies CSB’s dedication to empowering women and giving them chances for growth and development.
Deepika’s staff is made up entirely of women, which is intended to motivate them to work hard and advance within the organisation. She started the store in a less-than-desirable location for sales, but she was able to draw consumers with her enthusiasm for tea and the unique CSB experience. Her shop is now humming with activity and has become a must-visit for tea connoisseurs in the neighbourhood.
Speaking on this achievement, Deepika, the franchise owner said, “Opening an all-women outlet of Chai Sutta Bar has been a dream come true. I am proud to empower and inspire women in the tea industry, and I am grateful for the support and guidance from CSB. This is just the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, and I am excited to continue growing with CSB and making a difference in the community.”
Deepika attributes her success to Anubhav Dubey (The Kulhad Man of India), co-founder of CSB, and is pleased to be a member of the CSB family. She has recently joined the CSB’s Humans of CSB initiative and is looking forward to continuing her career with the organisation. Deepika has already announced plans for opening a second outlet of Chai Sutta Bar in Chandigarh.
“Deepika’s success with the all-women outlet in Mohali is a testament to the spirit and determination of women entrepreneurs. It makes me so happy to see her thrive and make a positive impact on society. At Chai Sutta Bar, we believe in providing opportunities for growth and empowerment, and Deepika’s story is a shining example of our vision. We are proud to have her as a part of the CSB family and look forward to her continued success.” said Chai Sutta Bar CEO and co-founder Anubhav Dubey.
CSB has been committed to providing sustainable employment opportunities to local communities, and the all-women outlet is a step towards achieving this goal. The company is proud to celebrate this milestone and looks forward to continuing to serve its customers with its unique and authentic tea experience.

KKR sixes to power EV charger rollout under VIDA campaign
Cricket meets clean mobility as big hits spark India’s charging growth
NEW DELHI: VIDA, the electric mobility arm of Hero MotoCorp, has teamed up with Kolkata Knight Riders to launch a campaign that turns cricketing flair into real-world impact.
Titled ‘6 for 6’, the initiative promises to install a 6kW fast EV charger for every six hit by KKR during the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The idea is simple but powerful, as each big hit on the field contributes directly to expanding India’s fast-charging infrastructure.
The campaign builds on VIDA’s growing network, which already spans over 5,300 fast-charging points across more than 430 cities. With EV adoption gaining pace, the brand is using cricket’s mass appeal to accelerate both awareness and infrastructure growth.
Explaining the thinking behind the move, Hero MotoCorp emerging mobility business unit chief business officer Kausalya Nandakumar said, “Cricket has an incredible ability to unite and inspire millions across the country. With the ‘6 for 6’ campaign, we are turning every big hit on the field into a step towards a cleaner and a more accessible mobility future.”
She added that VIDA’s expanding fast-charging network and removable battery technology are designed to make EV ownership more convenient and practical for everyday users.
From the franchise’s side, the campaign is also about giving on-field moments a larger purpose. Kolkata Knight Riders chief executive officer Venky Mysore said, “The ‘6 for 6’ campaign exemplifies the potential of sport as a platform for meaningful, real-world impact. By linking every six to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, this partnership transforms fan excitement into tangible progress.”
As part of the rollout, VIDA has introduced co-branded charging stations in KKR’s signature colours, with a flagship installation unveiled alongside team players. The chargers are designed for quick top-ups, powering VIDA scooters from zero to 80 percent in about an hour, while also being positioned along key highways to support longer journeys.
The initiative also taps into VIDA’s removable battery system, which allows users to charge using standard household plug points, adding flexibility to the charging ecosystem.
By blending the thrill of cricket with the urgency of clean mobility, VIDA and KKR have found a neat way to make every six count twice, once on the scoreboard and again on India’s road to an electric future.
