| Video Discription | Ramesh Babu is a Bangalore-based barber who gives customers a haircut for a modest ₹100 but owns a Rolls Royce Ghost worth ₹ 3 crore, and 67 other cars. When his father died in 1979, Ramesh, a nine year-old boy, was literally on the streets. The barber shop his father ran on Brigade Road's St Patrick's Complex was rented out for ₹ 5 per day. Ramesh's family survived on that money. Babu was nine when his father died in 1979, leaving the family with nothing. To make ends meet, they rented out his father's saloon on Brigade Road for a mere ₹5 per day. Forced to get a fulltime job, Babu dropped out of school after Class 10 and started working as a barber. The career choice paid off better than he could have imagined. In 1991, he started his own salon, Inner Space, which gained popularity among the city's trendy bunch. But the turnaround happened in 1994, when Babu purchased a humble Maruti Omni van and started renting it out. Seventeen years later, his car collection is anything but humble. Apart from the Rolls Royce, his fleet includes four Mercedes, an equal number of BMWs and 50 Toyota Innovas In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) [nJOdjfq-ALI] |
