After Quitting Her Job, Woman Sells Cold Cocoa From Her Car, Earning Around 600 Thousand Per Month

Shruti Jinzuwadia decided to start her own business by leaving her job. Her husband Darshan, who is a software engineer working in the IT sector, supported her decision. Together, they started selling cold cocoa and coffee from their car in the city of Ahmadabad.

The venture, 'The Cocoa Station,' began in July 2025 with minimal investment—only 2000–3000 rupees. This business selling cold cocoa and coffee now generates a monthly income of about 600 thousand rupees. Initially, they had neither luxurious cafes, nor expensive goods, nor a complex business plan—just a car, a few bottles, and a desire to try something new.

Darshan joins Shruti after finishing his workday, and the couple starts selling drinks from 9 PM to midnight. Currently, the couple sells about 150 bottles daily.

In the beginning, the business brought in only 14 bottles per day. However, the couple's sales gradually started to grow. According to the Startup India report, they have already sold about 30 thousand bottles, and total revenue has exceeded 3.6 million rupees. The highest demand was observed during the Navratri festival, when they sold about 7500 bottles in 9 days. Currently, daily sales amount to approximately 20 thousand rupees, which yields an income of about 600 thousand rupees per month. Meanwhile, monthly expenses for raw materials, bottles, and other needs amount to about 1.5–2 million rupees.

Despite the growth, the couple continues to run their business from the car. Darshan continues to work as a software engineer. They prepare the drinks in the morning and store them in thermal containers. After finishing work, Darshan comes out with Shruti to sell drinks from 9 PM to 12 AM.

When the business started developing, Shruti decided to leave her main job to focus entirely on her venture. In a post on LinkedIn, she shared that thanks to starting this business, she learned how to manage finances, communicate with customers, and handle difficult situations.

The couple also listed their drinks on the Zomato platform. Classic cold cocoa is sold for 120 rupees, and cold cocoa 2-in-1 for 169 rupees. Classic cold coffee costs 119 rupees. This business, which started with an investment of 2000–3000 rupees, has already generated over 3.6 million rupees in revenue, and the couple currently delivers drinks to customers directly from their vehicle.

Fiat plans to launch Koala, an entry-level electric car priced lower than the cheapest in Brazil

Fiat is developing a new entry-level electric vehicle, which may be named Koala. This model will be built using the E-car platform, developed by Stellantis specifically for compact and economical electric vehicles. This same structure serves as the basis for the future Citroën 2CV, expected to reach European markets in 2028.

According to information released by the European press, the projected cost for this car would be 15 thousand euros, equivalent to approximately R$ 90 thousand. This price is below the R$ 119,990 of the BYD Dolphin Mini, which currently holds the title of the most affordable electric car available in Brazil.

During the Paris Motor Show, Arnauld Belloni, Fiat's current leader, confirmed to the British publication Autocar that the automaker is working on several models based on this new platform, including a compact car derived from the 2CV.

François Leboine, Fiat's design head, stated that the first electric in this line already has considerable progress, comparable to the 2CV project. Despite this, the company opted to postpone its public presentation.

Initial production of these platform vehicles is scheduled to begin in 2028 at the Pomigliano d’Arco factory in Italy, a location known for manufacturing the Panda.

The vehicle's name has not yet been finalized. Belloni announced that Fiat has already registered the Koala brand, following a strategy of naming the line with bear references, such as Panda and Grizzly. It is noteworthy that the koala, popularly referred to as a bear, is classified as a marsupial.

The executive ruled out the possibility of a retro look, similar to the 2CV. Instead, the design may incorporate conceptual elements from the Ippo project, created by Italian students during a competition promoted by Fiat and presented at Milan Design Week in April.

Belloni also clarified that the new model will be a traditional automobile, not an ATV, unlike the Topolino.

The project aims to meet a new segmentation of electric cars with dimensions under 4.2 meters, a topic currently under debate in the European Union. This category is inspired by Japanese kei cars, characterized by being small and having reduced taxes, although this regulation still requires approval.

Additionally, Fiat plans to maintain a combustion engine alternative. The Panda remains the brand's best-selling model in Italy.
