Tea is a culture… It’s a lifestyle!

Bitten by the “TEA BUG” much earlier in my life. I think my passion for doing something in the space only grew stronger with time.

Payalh is an open minded Tea Preneur passionate about tea and is on a mission to create wonders with tea. She was born in Darjeeling and hence always says” I have more tea than blood in my veins “

Though she wasn’t born in a tea family and neither does she belong to a family of Tea Gardeners but her passion for tea is what made her take this leap of faith in the tea industry and today she proudly owns a tea brand CHAIOM, soon launching her tea academy ZIOB and he tea book in on the verge of launching soon . All she has os a great passion on Tea in her soul and with that she is walking on a journey writing her own Tea story.

My passion is to create awareness of the wide variety of the finest Indian teas and showcase Indian TEA and its taste and benefits around the world.

ENTREPRENUER

Born to be an Entrepreneur

Educationist /Restaurateur / Insurance

Some people are Entrepreneur by choice and some by birth by Payalh says she became an Entrepreneur by need .

Her philosophy in life was simple – Life gave her lemons and she made lemonade out of it .

Born in a small village called Mungpoo in the districts of Darjeeling and with only High school education today Payalh is a serial entrepreneur since last 24 years .

She started her career as an Educationist and after winning applauds in that industry for 8 years she shifted to her calling in the food industry as a Restaurateur . That too she pursued for a. decade and after selling that venture she now is a proud Tea preneur

But is that all? No

While she was living the duties of an Educationist and a Restaurateur she wanted to learn about Finance management since the key to success of every business is in the numbers , so simultaneously she pursued an Insurance Professionals journey for 5 years where she claimed fame at national and international levels .

Payalh's

STORY OF HER LIFE

As I worked as the top five Indian players every year there was a compelling desire from within to start my own, the journey began with a restaurant in Siliguri that expanded from one to three places. More than a decade of business experience in the food industry spoke of my business acumen and my love of tea helped me find my first opportunity in the tea industry.

Growing up I read and listened to ancient legends depicting princesses as critical characters who needed to be saved by their prince, taught to cook food, take care of the family, and then get married. So, I got married at a very young age when I was in the 10th grade. Reading was not allowed for girls. So, I never went to college where I had to be a part of getting a job so the plate was empty so it could try out all the options available to modern generations.

My biggest fear is the fear of normal life. It’s a real fear of not living, of the end of my life but I’ve never really painted the colours in my full mind. Fear of not having stories to talk about and fear to lie on my death bed, and misuse of the gift of life. I’m afraid to be described for one job or one place. People always tell you to deal with your fears, but I have a hard time believing that this is a fear I have to put aside. This is the fear that motivates me and I hope it will stay here.”

The intensity of my boxing career begins as an educator and I have worked in the insurance industry. But my love of cooking gradually diverted me from my new job as a doctor.

After 18 years of diverse experience at my professional level at the Executive MBA at IIMB & ISB from mom to beverage industry, for fear of talking publicly with a bilingual author, without having to start a business to make two companies as a proud mother, round businessman, teacher academic, restaurateur, marketing specialist, public speaker and author.

The moment of “Ha-Ha” in my life is how I found inspiration in Deepa Malik (Pa Olympic Champion) which inspires me to say “life does not stop, we have to keep going”.

After a good start and bringing good results to the organization I wanted more. My journey as a Tea-preneur started with Zolina Tranquilitea in April 2017. What has helped me to come out successfully and maintain my vision, marketing and collaboration skills and my driving make it great! While my love of tea and my deep understanding of the industry are gaining, I am loyal to the many who also work with me.

“I have never believed that a working life balance is possible, or that I can actually create a life that is both challenging and satisfying. When I started my career, I didn’t expect it to last forever – just a moment to see the world. But what I have found is that when I chose to honour my deepest desires, the world opened up to me in ways I never thought possible. I found true presence, met amazing people, and built a global network from following my feelings. I have gained so much from that courageous act 18 years ago, not the least of which is the ability to work where I want, when I want, to do as much as I want. It was a daunting task and a real loss of faith, but in hindsight, I could not change it.

This allows me to live a life where I can improve my environment and my day in a way that works well for me. I find that I am more efficient, more creative, and more efficient compared to the times I was in the office each day. It makes me happy to see how the future of the profession changes to give more women the opportunity to be able to work, too!”

women should know how it is possible for us to live according to circumstances. They all jump, chase their dreams and be able to find a way to make them fit the lifestyle they want. Whether you’re starting your own business, negotiating for years, or working 9-5, know that you may have the life you want. For that I am also going to be launching a training and coaching programme for women Entrepreneurs also invest in their business and handhold to next level. Let the women light a fire and finally take a leap and go wholeheartedly in pursuit of dreams.

“WE NEED MORE ACTIVITIES THAN SPEAKING. SINGING APPLICATION IS NOT ENOUGH. APPLICATION IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. A VOICE GUIDED BY LOVE AND HELP, THAT IS, VERY IMPORTANT”.

MOTHER

Mother-Son Relationship: Why It Is Important And How It Evolves Over Years

If a man is too close to his mother, he could be labeled a mama’s boy, and if he is not close enough he might be judged for ignoring his mother’s love.

How can a mother decide how close or far she should be from her son? Here are some parameters.

Romy and Payalh share a relation of a friend more than mom and son. Payalh has documented all 13 years of Romharsh’s life in a book titled “Apple of my Eye “ when he turned 13

As mother as son, Romharsh has already written a book named the five balls of life at the age of 17

WINE LOVER

Wine is a lifestyle. Some holidays are greater than others, Morrissey would say. Exclusive people seek exclusive experiences. museum on peak time, you can enjoy a winery at your own pace, let it grow on you, fall in love with it and being the kind of person that Payalh is, she has a great love for wines and her trips to Europe and Australia attracted her since both the countries have special wine selections and wineries.

A Wine Tour Experience is an exclusive, stress-free adventure and she travelled to Maribor to witness the oldest living Vine on earth

Žametovka or Modra kavčina (Bleu de Cologne), confirmed at 400 years of age, is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest vine in the world still producing fruit. The old vine was planted in Maribor at the end of the Middle Ages during the Turkish invasions.

MENTORS

WALL OF FAME

Everyone has a memorable unforgettable moment in their life time and will cherish that moment as long as they live. I am one of those many with a memorable loving moment. I will never forget it and happy to share it with others. … That it even open my heart to be happy and always thankful.

“Life isn’t a matter of milestones, but of moments.” — Rose Kennedy

Our lives are comprised of thousands of moments stretched over a lifetime. A moment of achievement. One of failure. Of inspiration. Another of disappointment. They can be large or small. Life affirming, or even life changing. These moments ultimately serve as the impetus for the stories we write about ourselves and with others.

Reflecting on my work over the past 25 years, I’ve come to realize that it has been widely influenced by individual moments, (and by the notion of moments itself). Even if I didn’t realize it at the time, I have been given moments of opportunities that changed the course of my life. A smile or conversation here. A friend or job there. These moments have led me to connect with others and engage the world around me.

The only way we can relive those moments is by capturing them in Pictures and when I see back today I see how each moment has been a moment that shook me and changed me and every person in the image has been a mentor to me in my life.
