Amber-Rose Badrudin (born 6 January 2000) is an English businessowner and influencer. After co-founding an Asian convenience store, Oree Mart, with Michael Nguyen in 2022, she began documenting the running of the business on TikTok, where she amassed a following.

After being fired from the process in the penultimate episode, she set up OreeBubbles.
Life and career
Amber-Rose Badrudin was born on 6 January 2000 in London.[1][2] She is of Pakistani and Indian descent.[3] In 2022, Badrudin and her then-boyfriend Michael Nguyen co-founded Oree Mart, an Asian convenience store in Croydon.[4] They documented the setup of the business on social media app TikTok, where Badrudin amassed a following and numerous viral videos. She accredited the success of Oree Mart to social media, stating: "I really wanna be able to break the stigma around influencing and content creating. Business has been fuelled by social media. Over the past two years my business has turned over seven figures, that is because of social media."[3] In 2024, she was the co-host of podcast Tap Water, alongside friend and fellow businessowner Sophia Hannah.[3]
Within Oree Mart, Badrudin introduced a bubble tea service, one that became popular with customers. After it enjoyed large success, Badrudin and Nguyen made the decision to remove it from the store, wanting to focus on the convenience store model and instead develop a standalone bubble tea store.[5] Since they also had a ramen noodle bar within Oree Mart, they believed it was "diluting their vision".[6] Badrudin took the bubble tea business idea to The Apprentice,[7][8] where she was selected to compete in the nineteenth series in 2025.[9][10] Badrudin was fired in the penultimate episode of the series, following the interview stage.[11] Following her exit from the series, she immediately funded the bubble tea store, OreeBubbles.[6]
