Meet The Founders
From Survival to Soulwork - the journey behind Sapoi
"This wasn't a business idea. It was a calling."
- Shveta and Chris
What if your second chance at life whispered, slow down?
What if your soul said, heal first?
What if a cup of chai could hold all that?
Our Stories
That’s how Sapoi came to be, not from a business plan, but from two deeply personal journeys. Journeys of illness, healing, awakening, and self-love.
Shveta – Co-Founder
I spent over 20 years in the IT industry, rising through the ranks and mentoring women in tech, but deep down, I was always guided by something more soulful.
Rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom from my grandmother, and shaped by my own healing journey, I eventually stepped away from corporate life to honour my true calling.
I’ve supported hundreds in reconnecting with their energy, intuition, and inner truth through healing sessions, rituals, podcasts, blogs and my published book 'Birthing the Newness.'
Sapoi is a natural extension of that path, a ritual in a cup.
It’s my way of helping others slow down, find presence, and come home to themselves.
Chris – Co-Founder
After five years battling end-stage kidney disease and receiving a life-saving transplant from a dear friend, I was gifted a second chance at life.
I had spent decades in the corporate world, working in executive leadership, but my health journey forced me to reflect on what truly matters.
In 2024, I made a promise to live more intentionally and give back in a way that felt aligned. That led me to co-found Sapoi.
For me, it’s more than chai, it’s a meaningful ritual that honours life, connection, and purpose.
Sapoi is how I now pay it forward, every day.
SAPOI WAS BORN
The Pact That Sparked Sapoi
We made a promise to prioritise work that nourishes our spirit. We'd create something sacred; a business rooted in ritual, purpose and healing.
Sapoi is a result of the pact.
“Healing starts with what we hold in our hands and what we choose to let go of.”
Sapoi stands for Presence, Purpose, and Possibility.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, seeking balance, or simply craving a cup that feels like home,
we welcome you into the Sapoi family.
From our healing to yours.
Sip slowly. Sip sacredly. Sip Sapoi.
OUR VALUES
“We built Sapoi for the soul. May every sip guide you home.”
