Own a Chai Bunk franchise in Warangal, Telangana's second largest city, with a low-investment, zero-royalty chai café model.
Warangal is Telangana's second largest city and a major educational, industrial, and historical hub. With NIT Warangal, Kakatiya University, and dozens of engineering colleges, the city has one of the highest student-to-population ratios in the state — creating extraordinary demand for affordable branded café experiences.

As a Chai Bunk home market (Telangana), franchisees here benefit from zero royalty, strong brand recognition, and direct franchisor support. Warangal is one of the highest-potential Tier 2 cities in the network.

Warangal's student population alone can sustain a Chai Bunk outlet. Add the railway traffic and office crowd and you have a very strong business case. Zero royalty made it an easy yes for me.
