Bengaluru Auto Drivers Turn Innovators: Raising Funds and Promoting Language Harmony
Bengaluru, renowned as India’s startup hub, recently witnessed two creative initiatives by auto drivers that showcase the city’s innovative spirit.
Auto Driver’s Startup Dream
Samuel Christy, a graduate and auto driver, has garnered attention after a passenger shared his unique fundraising poster online. Displayed behind the driver’s seat, the poster reads: “Hi passenger, my name is Samuel Christy. I’m a graduate looking to raise funds for my startup business idea. If you’re interested, please talk to me.”
The image, shared on Reddit, sparked mixed reactions. While many praised his entrepreneurial spirit and wished him success, others approached it with skepticism, cautioning against potential scams. Some Reddit users even offered help, underscoring the community’s mixed yet supportive outlook.
Promoting Kannada Through Autos
Another innovative auto driver in Bengaluru found a creative way to address the city’s ongoing language debates. This driver displayed a leaflet titled “Learn Kannada With Auto Kannadiga” inside the vehicle. The leaflet featured common Kannada phrases translated into English, aiming to help non-Kannada speakers learn the language during their commute.
The thoughtful initiative went viral on social media, with users lauding the effort to foster linguistic harmony in a diverse city like Bengaluru.
These unique approaches by auto drivers reflect Bengaluru’s culture of creativity, blending entrepreneurship and community-building.
