In every house in India, the morning starts with the knocking of milk. From sipping tea to children’s health, milk is one of the most important and affordable parts of our everyday lives. Vendors (milkmen) supplying milk from rural areas to big metros have been managing this entire chain at very low prices for years. But can you imagine that milk which is available for ₹ 60 to ₹ 70 per liter in India can be so expensive in some corner of the world that even the milk seller himself would be stunned after hearing about it? These days, one such interesting video is going viral on social media, in which the unique conversation between a local milk seller from Bihar and an Indian origin businessman from Los Angeles, America has won the hearts of people. This conversation, which started with milk prices, soon reached business ideas, international logistics and positive outlook towards life.
Shocked to hear ₹450 liter milk and ₹900 tea in America
This entire incident came to light when Prabhakar Prasad, a well-known content creator and entrepreneur of Indian origin living in California, America, who is also known as “Chaigai” on social media, visited India. He shared a video of this interesting meeting on his Instagram account. The caption of the video read, “The Bihari milkman could not believe that the price of one liter milk in California could be up to ₹450.”
During the conversation, when the simple milkman from Bihar was shocked and upset after hearing such a high price of milk in the American market, then Prabhakar Prasad gave him another big blow. He told that he makes Indian style strong tea using the same milk in America and the price of just one cup of tea at his outlet there is 10 dollars i.e. about ₹ 900 in Indian currency. As soon as he heard about a cup of tea costing ₹900, the milkman’s eyes widened and he remained completely speechless for a few seconds.
Leaving the surprise, he immediately came up with a business idea, his visionary thinking won hearts.
The most special and beautiful thing about this viral video was that the Bihari milkman not only remained silent in surprise after hearing such high prices, but a true Indian entrepreneur hidden within him woke up. He saw this huge price as a huge international business opportunity. He immediately racked his brain and started thinking that if milk is so expensive in America, then how much money can be earned by exporting milk from India there.
While talking about the challenge of logistics and supply chain, the milkman immediately gave a very practical and scientific solution. He said that during the long distance journey from India to America, milk can be safely packed in ‘refrigerated containers’ (Cold Chain Logistics) to protect it from curdling and to keep it completely fresh. People on social media are praising his amazing business sense, quick wit and attitude to solve problems immediately.
People showered love on social media, the milkman is being praised for his curiosity.
As soon as the video hit the internet, social media users started showering praises in the comment section. The general public is extremely impressed by the fact that a person coming from an ordinary background, instead of expressing inferiority complex or merely being surprised at foreign prices, immediately started thinking about a global trade and business model.
Responding to the video, an Instagram user wrote, “The eagerness to learn, know something new and move ahead in life is clearly visible in this person’s eyes.” Another user commented, “This brother seems to be a very down to earth and humble person, but his mind is very sharp business minded.” A large number of users commented with thumbs-up and heart emojis and wrote that there is no dearth of talent and entrepreneurship in the villages of India, they just need to get the right platform.
