Brinda Sharma Brews Up Something Special with New Coffee Brand – WAQA

While most influencers are launching beauty lines or fashion collections, Brinda Sharma is taking a refreshingly different path – straight to your morning cup of joe. The popular travel influencer just announced the launch of WAQA Coffee, turning her caffeine obsession into her newest adventure.

“Jabse main caffeine addict bani hun, tabse I’ve been looking for a brand that becomes my staple- so I started my own,” Sharma quipped in her Instagram announcement yesterday, revealing a project that’s been in the works since January this year.

But for those who know Brinda’s story, this unexpected venture is just another peak in a life filled with purposeful detours.

Engineering a Different Path

Picture choosing your engineering college not for its rankings or placement records, but for its altitude. That’s exactly what Sharma did, strategically picking a campus in Shimla to stay close to her beloved Himalayas. It’s this kind of intentional living that has defined her journey from a mountain-loving engineer to a Forbes-listed digital creator.

From Spiti to Stardom

Sometimes, the best stories begin with a missed connection. After trying for a year to reach Spiti Valley, Sharma finally made it – and met fellow adventurer Anunay Sood there. This trip didn’t just mark the beginning of her Instagram journey; it set the stage for what would become a life of calculated risks and beautiful rewards.

Corporate Life to Creator Life

While most people dream of quitting their 9-to-5, Sharma showed it’s possible to build a parallel path. Working at GSK in Dubai, she managed to visit 12 countries in 2019 alone, all while growing her social media presence. Now a full-time creator, her portfolio includes collaborations with global brands like GoPro, Tourism New Zealand, and features in Travel and Leisure India.

Making Forbes India’s Top 100 Digital Stars list in both 2022 and 2023 might seem like the pinnacle for most, but Sharma’s achievements go beyond accolades. From being hosted by Switzerland and Saudi Arabia to reaching her 25th country milestone, she’s turned her passion for exploration into a platform that inspires others to seek their own adventures.

And now, with WAQA Coffee, Sharma is brewing up a new kind of adventure. It’s fitting that someone who’s built her brand on authentic experiences would venture into something as personal as coffee – a constant companion for many travelers and dreamers alike.

As she transitions from capturing mountain vistas to crafting the perfect blend, one thing remains clear: whether it’s choosing a college in the hills, turning travel into a career, or launching a coffee brand, Brinda Sharma continues to chart her own course – one adventure at a time.

For someone who’s helped countless followers plan their trips through her YouTube guides and Instagram stories spanning from Russia to Sri Lanka, this new venture feels like an invitation to join her for a cup of coffee and dream up the next big adventure.
