A lot has been revealed about Bengaluru autorickshaw drivers – that they are tech-savvy, that they have multiple side hustles, and that they are smarter than what a lot of people think them to be. However, recently a woman encountered an autorickshaw driver in Bengaluru who took things up a notch!
Twitter user @_waabi_saabi_ shared how her autorickshaw driver had his UPI QR code set as his smartwatch wallpaper. When she was about to pay and asked him for the QR code, all he did was show his smartwatch!
She called him ‘Tony Stark’ and said that he has so much swag. And we agree! Have a look at her tweet here:
Today I met namma Tony Stark in @nammayatri 🛺
Asked my auto driver for the QR code.
Man flipped his hand and showed me his smartwatch.
Turns out he's saved the QR code as his smartwatch screensaver.
So much swag 🫡@peakbengaluru pic.twitter.com/ZDvNGOB0zD
