The big plus is that he is marketing fresh teas and educating the buyers as to the benefits. I feel Nikhil needs to first grow the business slowly and in a systematic manner. Having done that, he will have to decide whether to remain exclusive and small or jump into bed with the venture capitalists and grow phenominally. All in all, it sounds like a good start has been made and Nikhil will need all the luck that Lord Ganesha can spare.
