A Mumbai auto driver has found an unexpected goldmine — without even driving his auto.
Stationed near the US Consulate, where carrying bags inside is prohibited, he runs a unique bag-keeping service that’s turning heads.
Charging Rs 1,000 per bag, he caters to around 20–30 customers each day, mostly visa applicants and visitors. This simple yet clever idea earns him a staggering Rs 5–8 lakh per month.
With tight security at the consulate and no official locker service available, visitors are left with few options. That’s where this auto driver steps in, offering a convenient and trusted solution.
His auto remains parked outside the consulate all day, turning into an impromptu storage unit.
This idea, which came out of opportunity and necessity, says how innovative thinking can lead to major earnings — even in the most unexpected places. Locals are amazed, and his story is quickly becoming the talk of the town.
Now, it is needless to say that he will get huge competition now with many autowalas and others setting up bag-keeping services near US consulate.
Well, the same idea can be copied by individuals who wish to set up this bag-keeping service at US consulates in other Indian cities.
