InkoTea: Brewing India's Affordable Café Culture, Expands With Solar-Powered Innovation

InkoTea, one of Telangana's fastest-growing tea café brands, is redefining India's café culture with affordable formats and solar-powered innovations. Founded in 2021 by Srinivas P Mahendra, with co-founder Naresh, the brand has rapidly expanded to 37 outlets across Telangana and is now eyeing national and global growth.

The brand name itself reflects its ethos: in Telugu, "Inko Tea" means "one more tea". As Srinivas explains, "Tea is the most consumed beverage after water. If it's good, people always come back for another cup-that's the spirit of InkoTea."

After starting with a low-cost kiosk franchise model (₹2 lakhs), InkoTea is now expanding into Mini Café outlets (500-1000 sq. ft.)-bringing premium beverages and quick bites like pizza, burgers, and Telangana snacks to Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities at affordable prices.

👉 Unique Innovations Driving Growth:

InkoTea Mini Café - Affordable café experience for Tier 2 cities.

InkoTea on Wheels - India's First solar-powered tea cart, designed for urban youth, SHGs, and startups.

Global Expansion Plans - Premium packaged tea products to be exported to the USA, UK, and Australia.

Srinivas, who hails from Peddapalli District, Telangana, left his 14-year IT career with MNCs like HSBC to build InkoTea. Inspired to become a Job Giver rather than a Job Seeker, he credits his wife Srilatha, parents, and brother Naresh for their constant support in this entrepreneurial journey.

With its affordable franchise model and green energy innovations, InkoTea is positioning itself as a global yet affordable Indian café brand, blending tradition with modern café culture.
