Mumbai: Auto driver’s unique earnings outside the US consulate

An auto rickshaw running in Mumbai is earning 5-8 lakh rupees every month. And the big thing is that he is not even running an auto rickshaw nor is doing anything wrong. When he told that he is earning so much money of the month very easily, he was not sure once. But his talk came out completely. This auto with auto is earning such a huge amount in a month instead of helping people. When we tell you how he recognized a common problem and made it his work, then your surprise will not be surprised.

Actually, this auto with an auto stands outside the US Consulate. A visa is needed to go to America and thousands of people visit the embassy here every day. If everyone comes from a distance, then they also bring their bags with them. But the bag cannot be taken inside the embassy. The embassy has not provided any other facility to keep a locker or bag. In such a situation, a big problem comes in front of people. This auto man identified and made a source of earnings.

Lenskart product leader Rahul Rupani shared this experience on LinkedIn. He told that when he reached there for a visa interview, the security guard said that the bag cannot be taken inside. He was standing upset, then an auto driver called him and said, “Sir, give the bag. I will keep it safe, it is a daily job. It will cost only 1000 rupees.” Hearing this, the amount was a little more at first, but when there is a danger of missing the interview, then people agree without thinking.

This auto driver handles bags of 20 to 30 people daily and earns 20,000 to 30,000 rupees a day. That is, earning millions in the month, that too without running an auto. But this is not an earning without a plan. He has also started the facility of a safe locker meeting with a local policeman, where bags are kept. Auto is just a medium of contact so that the customer’s attention can be caught.
