Outside the U.S. Consulate in Mumbai, one rule is clear: No bags allowed inside. For most visitors, it’s a frustrating surprise. But for one man it became a business opportunity.
A ₹1,000 Fix to a ₹0 Problem When Rahul Rupani, a product head at Lenskart, showed up at the consulate, he was stuck. No lockers, no app-based storage, no solution.
That’s when a nearby auto driver calmly said
“Sir, bag de do. Safe rakhunga. ₹1,000 charge hai.” (“Sir, give me your bag. I’ll keep it safe. ₹1,000.”)
No flyer. No logo. Just trust.
Rahul handed it over. Hours later, he got the bag back untouched, secure, and right on time.
No App. No Tech. Just Pure Hustle.
This driver isn’t driving. He simply parks outside the consulate every day, offering his ₹1,000 bag-keeping service to 20–30 people. That’s ₹20K–₹30K daily, or ₹5–8 lakh a month.
No MBA. No pitch decks. No funding.
Just street smarts, consistency, and a sharp eye for real problems people face.
Proof That Grit Pays More Than Degrees Sometimes
In a world obsessed with apps, tech, and LinkedIn headlines, this man quietly built a cash-rich business from nothing but need, trust, and hustle.
Because sometimes, the smartest business ideas start with just one question:
“What’s missing right here, right now?”
