New Delhi: In an economy where small and medium enterprises form the backbone of growth, the challenge is no longer ambition, but access, clarity, and execution. As Indian SMEs navigate digital transformation, global trade opportunities, and regulatory complexity, Chai Kreative has emerged as a new-age partner focused on turning intent into impact.
Founded in 2024 and headquartered in New Delhi, Chai Kreative is an AI-led AdTech and cultural innovation firm built on over three decades of real-world experience. At its helm is founder Kewal Kapoor, a writer, journalist, producer, and creative strategist whose career spans more than 30 years across media, storytelling, policy understanding, and market behaviour.
Kapoor’s journey began early. After losing his mother at the age of 14, he became independent far sooner than most—developing a deep grounding in research, scripting, and narrative-building. His professional career later saw him serve as Executive Producer at UTV, where he conceptualised and produced India’s first television series on Tax Laws—work that combined public education with policy insight. Since 2012, his focus has steadily shifted toward value-driven initiatives that blend culture, commerce, and long-term relevance.
That philosophy led to the creation of Chai Kreative, an organisation designed not as a traditional agency, but as a strategic partner for SMEs and global businesses seeking practical, jargon-free roadmaps from research to revenue. The company blends AI-driven AdTech with a human-centric approach, combining digital tools, cultural strategy, government relations, and execution support under one hybrid delivery model.
A key milestone in Chai Kreative’s journey has been the launch of the Chai Global SME Bridge: The 10K Initiative, a large-scale programme aimed at digitally empowering over 10,000 SMEs across India. With a special focus on Kutir (cottage) enterprises and women-owned businesses, the initiative offers digital capability assessments, customised growth roadmaps, hybrid e-commerce implementation, and personalised training supported by 25 digitally enabled assistants.
Beyond domestic growth, Chai Kreative is also positioning itself as a critical facilitator for cross-border collaboration, particularly in the context of emerging India–EU Free Trade Agreement opportunities. Drawing on deep regulatory intelligence and government engagement expertise, the firm supports Indian and European companies with FTA consultations, compliance navigation, procurement strategy, and market entry planning.
What sets Chai Kreative apart is its emphasis on execution over theory. Its services are built around real constraints faced by SMEs, limited resources, regulatory confusion, and digital overwhelm, while offering globally aligned solutions that are grounded in India’s cultural and economic realities.
As India’s startup and SME ecosystem matures, Chai Kreative aims to play a catalytic role, connecting local enterprise with global opportunity, and helping businesses grow with clarity, confidence, and cultural authenticity. Through initiatives like the 10K SME Bridge and its FTA-focused advisory work, the company is positioning itself not just as a consultant, but as a long-term partner in India’s evolving growth story.
