info_outlineChai latte is a Western take on India’s centuries-old ‘national drink’ chai masala and was
completely unknown in Australia at the time, but Martin & Melissa were convinced that chai latte would eventually be huge in Australia and set about creating their own, unique pre-mix.
After an inauspicious start – selling just 17kg in their first month – Melissa today sells
around 6 tonnes of product a month and someone, somewhere in the world, enjoys a
Bondi Chai Latte every two seconds.
Bondi Chai has become the most awarded product of its kind in Australia, picking up awards from Telstra, and even a Stevie award.
And Martin and Melissa have created an ideal lifestyle, working from their home office in Port Stephens (or wherever in the world they can get internet), with a handful of team members they generate multiple millions per year in revenue, and look set to expand rapidly with significant interest in the Chinese market.
- The power of being 'ambitiously lazy', which enabled them to create an innovative outsourced delivery model for Bondi Chai
- How they have successfully grown their business internationally
- Tips on being life partners and business partners - and how to navigate this and still remain happily together.
- The importance of keeping an external sounding board/coach on your team as you grow your business.
- The benefits of being around other business owners, attending regular training, and continuous growth through reading.
- Their life-changing question - what more is there to life than this?
- An exciting charitable adventure they are embarking on to ride 500km across Thailand to raise funds for Hands Across The Water
- And much more
