Bengaluru cabbie’s innovative attempt to turn passengers into investors for his startup, wows Internet

For residents of Bengaluru, entrepreneurship runs in the blood. A Bengaluru auto driver has gained attention on social media for his creative way of seeking support for his startup venture. Samuel Christy, a graduate who drives an autorickshaw, displayed a poster behind his seat inviting passengers to engage with his business idea.

The poster read, “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.



” A photo of the poster was shared on Reddit with the caption, “Yet another Peak Bengaluru moment,” which quickly sparked admiration for his entrepreneurial drive. How Did Reddit Users Respond? The auto driver’s innovative fundraising strategy sparked a mix of reactions on Reddit, highlighting Bengaluru's diverse views on such entrepreneurial initiatives. Agencies One user applauded the effort, stating, “I think it’s a great effort.

Hope he is doing something good and hope he succeeds!” Another user offered potential support, writing, “If he’s interested, I could help him for a price.” While many wished the driver well, some responses were more cautious. A comment read, “May god bless him,” while another warned skeptically, “This could be a scam too; auto drivers are the biggest scamsters in Bengaluru.

” Other Unique Endeavours This isn’t the first time a Bengaluru auto driver has gone viral. In September, one driver captured online attention by equipping his vehicle with an office chair for added comfort. Another auto driver recently stood out with a clever idea addressing Bengaluru's language barriers.

The driver displayed a leaflet titled “Learn Kannada With Auto Kannadiga,” which translated common Kannada phrases into English. The initiative aimed to assist non-Kannada speakers in picking up the local language during their rides, fostering linguistic inclusivity in the culturally diverse city. A passenger who noticed the leaflet shared a photo on X (formerly Twitter), where it quickly went viral.

The thoughtful effort earned widespread praise from social media users, who hailed it as a brilliant and friendly way to bridge the language gap..
