A few days back, he uploaded a picture of a roadside cobbler with the caption, “This man should be teaching Marketing at the Indian Institute of Management”. This was because he really liked the way how the small cobbler presented his workspace and his marketing skills.
Later he posted another tweet asking everyone if they can find him as he wanted to invest in his start-up. He also shared that he received the picture from WhatsApp.
Got it on whatsapp. No clue who or where he is or how old this pic is. If anyone can find him and he’s still doing this work I’d like to make a small investment in his ‘startup’. https://t.co/A8kdJTvAN1

“Recall my tweet about Narseeji, the cobbler? Our team in Harayana met him&asked how we could help.A simple&humble man.Instead of asking for money, he said he needed a good workspace. I asked our Design Studio team from Mumbai to design a kiosk that was functional & yet aesthetic (1/2)”
