A paanwallah is a person who sells paan, a chewable product made from betel leaves and other ingredients. The word "paanwallah" is made up of two Hindi words: "paan" which means "betel leaf" and "wala" which means "person associated with".
Paanwallas are often found at roadside booths, small stalls, or push carts. They are often the sole owners of their businesses and are often known for knowing the latest neighborhood gossip and rumors.
Paan is a common breath freshener in India and is often chewed with areca nut. It is also considered to be an aid to digestion and an astringent.
