Many people applauded Jaspreet's courage and appreciated Mr Mahindra for his kind gesture.
Anand Mahindra, chairperson of Mahindra Group, has shared online a video of a young boy who makes rolls on a roadside food cart.
In the clip, the 10-year-old named Jaspreet, can be seen making an egg roll. On being asked, the boy shared that his father recently died from brain tuberculosis. The boy, who also has a 14-year-old sister, said that their mother has left them, refusing to take responsibility. Despite these challenges, Jaspreet manages to attend school in the morning and runs his food cart in the evenings.
In addition to egg rolls, the young boy also sells chicken rolls, kebab rolls, paneer rolls, chowmein rolls, and seekh kebab rolls.
Sharing the clip, Mr Mahindra asked for the boy's contact details. He wrote, "Courage, thy name is Jaspreet. But his education shouldn't suffer. I believe, he's in Tilak Nagar, Delhi. If anyone has access to his contact number please do share it. The Mahindra foundation team will explore how we can support his education."
