Bengaluru: An auto-rickshaw driver, also a graduate, aspiring to open up a start-up firm used a unique way to seek investors for funds. A photo of the inside of the rickshaw showed a poster with a fundraising pitch. The poster was pasted on the backside of his seat, which is clearly visible to passengers. This has, however, sparked a debate on Reddit due to the grammatical errors in his pitch. One of the Redditors noted that “it is ignorance and laziness” since the guy did not consider proofreading the note first.
“Hi passenger my name is samuel christy I’m a graduate who is looking to raise fund for my startup business idea if your interested please talk to me,” wrote the rickshaw driver in the poster.
