This week on Empowering Indian Expats podcast is
Uppma Virdi, CEO of Chai Walli

She moved to Australia with her parents as a kid
Grew up in Melbourne
Started her career as a Lawyer

4 years into her career when in high momentum, 
she decided to take the leap to run her business full-time

May not have been an easy decision
What if she didn't succeed in biz
How about finances...

Did she face challenges 
Did she feel like going back to her law career

She talks about all these and also the real business stuff:

• Marketing
• Cashflow 
• Supply
• Hiring
• Sales
• Culture 
• Innovation
• Leadership
• Community 

She also shares the backstory of her unique tea blends :)

Authenticity and Community have been a big part of her success.
That's my lesson in marketing...
