Who would have thought that the tech tycoon and former CEO of Microsoft, Bill Gates, would visit India and perform a ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ with a local teaseller? That far-fetched idea is now a reality. Gates has been in India for some time, and he has visited Microsoft’s India Development Center (IDC) in Hyderabad, a slum in Bhubaneswar, and Biju Adarsh Colony in the Maa Mangla Basti, along with state government officials. People were surprised by his visit to Nagpur’s Dolly Chaiwala, who is well-known on social media.
Bill Gates’ Visit To Dolly Chaiwala
The video Gates shared begins with him saying “One chai please” to Dolly Chaiwalla. Dolly Chaiwala runs the Instagram page dolly_ki_tapri_nagpur and has become well-known for his unique tea-making style and content creation. When discussing his style, Gates stated, “In India, you can find innovation everywhere you turn—even in the preparation of a simple cup of tea!”
As the video progresses, Gates says, “I am thrilled to be back in India. Home to incredible innovators who are working on new ways to save and improve lives, as well as making a cup of tea. The video concludes with the on-screen caption, “Looking forward to many Chai pe Charcha.”
People’s Reaction To The ‘Unexpected Collab’
At the time of writing, Gates’ original video had over 14.2 million views, a million likes, and over 8,000 comments.
People in the comments couldn’t believe what they had seen. One user wrote, “Marvel has the best crossover, meanwhile Dolly Chaiwala.”
Another user in disbelief wrote, “I am going to wash my eyes with one cup of chai because I can’t believe that’s real.”
Another user commented, “Luckiest guy on Earth.”
