Tea has been anciently known to have a variety of positive health benefits and tea enthusiasts know that good tea is worth its weight in <keyword id="18712" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gold">gold</keyword>. Not just that, Tea is India’s primary beverage, with almost 85% of total households in the country consuming it with or without milk and sugar. India is the world’s second-largest producer and second-largest consumer of tea accounting for 25-27% of world tea production. So it is no surprise that tea is growing in popularity the country with brands now focusing outside the box with different types of tea. Great tea grows loose, in high altitudes, in deep soil and sub-tropical climates and isn’t treated by <keyword id="61521" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="ctc">CTC</keyword> method which involves crushing, tearing and curling black tea into small, hard pellets which is the tea most Indians currently consume. Things have changed in cities where Indians who are passionate about this beverage are realizing that the best tea is organically sourced and naturally dried and treated. While many tea start-ups like Chaayos and Chai-point have made their mark in the industry through the cafe format, a new age startup from <keyword id="6354925" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kolkata">Kolkata</keyword> sees tea differently. The <keyword id="3345236" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="tea-trove">Tea Trove</keyword> sources freshly packed teas like black, white, oolong, green tea directly from the cultivators and blends them into unique and exquisite flavours using real herbs, fruits like apple, orange peel, mango, pineapple, etc., flowers like rose, lavender, jasmine, etc. and spices cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and much more. Rishav <keyword id="5926381" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="kanoi">Kanoi</keyword>, Founder of Tea Trove told Business Insider “When we started a cafe in Kolkata, we realized that people came for the food and tea with it and not the other way around. As a tea cultivator, I realized that we can reach more people and explain the importance of good tea better in stores and through different luxury chains who appreciate the experience.” In Delhi and Kolkata, the Tea Trove has set up experience counters in high end grocery stores where consumers are willing to taste and also blend their own tea. Kanoi feels that customers will appreciate good tea if they can make it at home and see the difference in their lifestyle instead of visiting a cafe once in awhile and treating it like a novelty. Blending In I tried blending my own tea at their outlet in Modern Bazaar, Select Citywalk where Kanoi helped me create a ‘blend’ of different teas like Green tea, Rose flowers and cinnamon. I also made iced tea with the tea and learnt how long I should seep different teas for the right flavour strength. The Tea Trove also has customized blends for different ailments like stomach upset, diabetes, joint pain, menstrual pain and high blood pressure. The team at Tea Trove makes sure that you understand how easy it is to enjoy tea in any form, hot or cold or even blend your own different flavours to enjoy a healthy beverage.

At a time, when we see food delivery start ups being born every other day and most of them providing the same service, the only difference being the amount of free order limit for new users, there is a start up that promises something very different. <keyword id="2902294" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Foodcloud">Foodcloud</keyword>, launched two and a half years back by <keyword id="2782801" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vedant-Kanoi">Vedant Kanoi</keyword> and <keyword id="2782800" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shamit-Khemka">Shamit Khemka</keyword> offers home-cooked food.

The whole idea is to disrupt the food delivery start up ecosystem with a pinch of strong flavour. If you are an amateur chef and love to cook or a homemaker with a knack of churning out deliciousness out of mundane dal and cabbage, it’s time to stop limiting yourself to <keyword id="3742751" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="facebook-and-instagram">Facebook and Instagram</keyword>.

So how does one enrol him/herself as a chef on the Foodcloud platform? 
 “All he needs to do is join as a chef on our website (www.foodcloud.in) and register himself. Post that we arrange a tasting session for him where his food is judged on parameters like quality, hygiene, presentation etc. After the approval, we sign a contract with the chef and help him upload his menu on the website. Once the formalities are over, we immediately make him live on our portal,” the founder Vedant Kanoi told <keyword id="824043" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Business-Insider">Business Insider</keyword>. 
 
And guess what? You don’t even need any sort of qualifications in hospitality. “We came to the market with an all new idea of engaging the home chefs in the business and give them the chance to portray their talent and make money following their passion,” added Kanoi. 
So, anyone who can cook tasty, hygienic, healthy, homelike, authentic or gourmet meals is welcomed to join Foodcloud. However the chefs are encouraged to register with <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Meet-the-Mumbai-couple-who-started-a-company-to-sell-their-mothershomemade-pickles/articleshow/55031657.cms">FSSAI </a>for better.

- Join as a chef on www.foodcloud.in 
- Verify your email ID 
- Tasting session is scheduled 
- Contract signing 
- Menu upload 
- Live on the website 
- Receive orders

This food start up is letting amateur chefs like you and me
to cook and become a food entrepreneur

India has emerged as a fertile ground for many budding start-ups and medium enterprises. While a majority of these have resorted to equity investors and venture capitalists for funding, the idea of crowd-funding has largely remained untapped. It’s considered more a donation. However with the recent start-up boom it’s becoming essential to pull up one’s socks and look beyond conventional funding sources for business ideas or awareness campaigns. 
 
SMEs can’t often afford to offer products and services in online marketplace models due to the lack of infrastructure and technical expertise. While platforms like Shopify do allow access to online e-commerce start-up models, what if you need these only for a limited period of time? 
 
Jack of all Threads is a platform that allows one to design t-shirts online which they can then promote using social media. The website takes care of logistics, production, customer support, finance and technology while the money raised goes to the organization. There are in-house designers waiting to help if you do need assistance. 
 
To sum it up, “Jack of all Threads makes it easy and accessible for people to become creative entrepreneurs”, Co-Founder Yash Vardhan Kanoi says. 
 
The website has hosted around 2500 campaigns a month since it’s inception, with over 500 new users joining every month. This includes NGOs like Akshaya Patra Foundation, CRY, Teach For India and Make A Difference that find it convenient to fund their campaigns.
