How to Think Big Series
What I Learned From a Fruit Seller at the Traffic Signal
A few weeks ago, I stopped at a red light in Pune.
A fruit seller walked up to the cars, balancing a basket of guavas. Not unusual.
But here’s what was different
While most sellers were shouting prices, he softly said -
"Madam, if you like them, you can order online too - I deliver through WhatsApp
He handed me a small card with his number and a QR code
A fruit seller. With customer care. QR codes. And delivery service
No MBA. No website. Just big thinking
