Founders of Chai & Crumbles

Sumit Meena and Prince Meena are seasoned campaigners of the café world, having built and run their first café in 2021, right as the world found its footing after COVID. Through the second and third waves that followed, they held firm — proving that a business built on genuine care doesn't crumble under pressure.

Taste and quality is king — that belief led them to pivot in 2024 and build Chai & Crumbles. Today, a few cafés is just the beginning of a brand they dream will one day become larger-than-life.
