In a city where every square foot is a battleground of opportunity, a Mumbai auto driver has cracked the code of entrepreneurship- not with funding decks or flashy tech, but by solving a tiny, persistent problem.
Vikash Vishwakarma, Founder of Premium Aroma Cleaning Products, shared this interesting story on his official X handle.
It all started outside the US Consulate in Mumbai.
When Lenskart’s product head, Rahul Rupani, arrived for a visa appointment, he faced an unexpected hurdle- no bags were allowed inside.
Stranded, Rupani was approached by a calm, confident auto driver who offered to keep the bag safely for ₹1,000.
Reluctant but without options, Rupani agreed.
When he returned hours later to find everything safe and untouched, he wasn’t just relieved, he was impressed.
The incident revealed a hidden, high-value service few had noticed.
The Bag Business Blueprint
What looks like a helpful gesture is, in fact, a well-oiled business model:
- Location-based demand: Parks near the US Consulate daily
- Niche service: Offers secure bag storage for ₹1,000
- Volume-driven revenue: Handles 20–30 customers daily
At ₹1,000 per bag, his daily earnings touch ₹20,000–₹30,000. Monthly? That’s ₹5–8 lakh—all with zero tech, overheads, or advertising.
This model works not because it’s fancy, but because it’s effective.
It tackles a hyper-specific problem, delivers immediate value, and builds trust organically.
There’s no pitch deck or social media strategy—just results.
Why It Works
- Precision: It targets a pain point no one else saw.
- Trust: The driver’s visibility, repeat presence, and reliability turn first-timers into return customers.
- Simplicity: No permits, no staff, no software—just one man, one service.
Entrepreneurship in Its Purest Form
Rupani described it as ‘a masterclass in solving a hyper-specific problem’.
In a world obsessed with scaling fast, this microbusiness shows that staying small and solving deeply can be just as profitable—and more sustainable.
For every aspiring entrepreneur chasing the next big thing, this story is a powerful reminder- sometimes, all it takes is the courage to act on a simple idea.
You don’t need a tech team or investors—you need eyes open to the everyday, ears tuned to real needs, and the grit to execute.
“This story is a vibrant reminder, great ventures often begin with a simple insight, a touch of trust, and the courage to act. What small spark will you ignite today?”
