Let's settle the real debate: Best office tapri chai? Drop locations.

I don't care how fancy the imported espresso machines where I work are. That automated corporate cappuccino tastes like warm depression and dashed appraisals.

Let's be honest, the only thing keeping most of us sane between back-to-back pointless sync-ups and Jira updates is that 15-rupee cutting chai. There is something deeply therapeutic about stepping out of the freezing AC, escaping the corporate BS for ten minutes, and sipping boiling hot tea from a tiny glass.

For me, the undisputed GOAT is the small tapri right outside the back gate of Prestige Tech Park on ORR, Bangalore. It's just a blue tarpaulin setup, but the guy puts the exact perfect ratio of adrak and elaichi.

Plus, the networking at these tapris beats LinkedIn any day. I swear I've overheard about three different stealth startups getting funded and two upcoming mass layoffs just standing there sipping my half-glass. The tapri bhaiya probably takes home more in pure cash than my entire team's in-hand salary combined, and honestly? He deserves every single rupee.

Since RTO is being shoved down our throats everywhere, we might as well share the good spots.
