A rickshaw puller who helped Paytm's Vijay Shekhar Sharma make it to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's house despite a massive jam has been rewarded with Rs. 6,000, a new cycle rickshaw and the promise of a new home. Mani Ram happened to be close to the Chief Minister's 5 Kalidas Marg home when he was stopped by the "man in the kurta" he didn't know was the CEO of Paytm, one of India's top mobile wallet startups with over 122 million users.
Disclosure: Paytm's parent company One97 is an investor in Gadgets 360.
