A video of an Indian milkman's stunned reaction to US grocery prices has gone viral on social media. Prabhakar Prasad, a Los Angeles-based entrepreneur known as 'Chaiguy,' shared a candid conversation with his local milk seller in India. The vendor was shocked to learn that a single litre of milk costs around ₹450 in California. The interaction turned into a humorous business brainstorm when Prasad revealed he sells a single cup of tea for $10 (₹900), prompting the enterprising doodhwala to pitch exporting his dairy supply overseas.

Prasad shared that one litre of milk costs about ₹450 in the US, leaving the milk seller in utter surprise. The conversation continued with the milkman asking Prasad about his tea-selling business and how much he charges per cup. When Prasad shared that he sells it for $10, the milkman was left astonished. The enterprising milkman even suggested using a fridge during transportation to keep the milk fresh.

Prasad, who is popularly known as 'Chaiguy' on Instagram, has a fascinating story of his own. From staying in a small town in Bihar to building a successful business in Los Angeles, Prasad's journey is an inspiration to many. He went from being a Bihar board school student to an English CBSE one, and eventually cleared the IIT screening exam. Despite facing struggles, Prasad worked hard and eventually started selling chai, which struck a chord online.
