The determination of three friends, Kartik Momaya, Qureshi Zeeshan and Sainath Kashikedar, to make a difference in whatever they do gave birth to T&C. Post their graduation from the same college in 2012, they decided to start a business together. With no experience in any specific industry, they did a thorough research on suitable businesses that they can start with. In their quest to venture in the right business, they brainstormed for days to finally give shape to many of their raw ideas. It was then, the idea of a tea café was seeded, which took over 3 years of hard work, persistence and trust in each other to nurture the concept. And lay the foundation of T&C on March 14, 2016. Today, our tea café has evolved into a smooth business, which was once a mere vision of three young entrepreneurs.
