Peak Bengaluru moment: A mini shopping mall is now running inside a Namma Bengaluru auto! An auto driver in Bengaluru has come up with a unique and creative business idea by turning his auto into a small moving jewellery store. Inside the auto, he has installed a display box filled with ladies’ accessories such as earrings, bangles, chains, clips, and other fashion jewellery items.What makes this even more interesting is that passengers travelling in the auto can directly browse and purchase the jewellery during their ride. While waiting in traffic or travelling through the city, customers now have the option to shop for accessories inside the auto itself. This perfectly reflects Bengaluru’s entrepreneurial spirit, where people always find innovative ways to create business opportunities. The auto has surprised many people because it looks like a mini shopping mall on three wheels. From technology startups to creative street-level business ideas, Bengaluru continues to stand out for its unique innovations and hustle culture. In a city famous for both traffic and creativity, this auto driver managed to combine convenience and business in a completely different way by creating a travelling jewellery shop inside his Namma Bengaluru auto. #bangalore #bengaluru #autodriver #autoanna #peakbengaluru @peakbengaluru @startupindia @StartupGrind @Lolita_TNIE @ChristinMP_

Yep I mentioned autoanna not Bangalore folks you see

Uk whats funny, once a muslim guy helped me deal with autoanna gundagardi.. like legit orange beard dhoti wearing Muslim 😭 He started slapping that guy and told me you go, we will deal with him

That is a joke, tell me one #autoAnna takes you for less than 50 or 100.

Howdu! Today I was full smiling at all autoanna and they also smiled back! Hahaahahah! Onthara secret code adu 🤣🔥🔥

Finally, a bumper sticker that understands the difference. Respect is earned, not demanded. #Autoanna #Respect

Took a picture in the Auto...for an #AutoAnna sob story... unfortunately the auto driver is concentrating only on driving and not on discussing world politics with passenger...my viral hashtag moment failed...plus featuring on @Mystic_Tamil also gone 😉

Auto Anna seething at a couple doing PDA in front of a shop. Full Kaadhal Kottai thalaivasal Vijay mode. Only his Iyyappa maalai stopping him from using bad words. #ChennaiPDA #AutoAnna

You as a brand assume how your audience perceives your ads is a whole different story than the reality Here is an experiment, Recently, I went to a marketing meetup where my team was given an activity to create a brand name and an ad campaign around an idea written on paper. Idea: Autorickshaw that comes with an auto-bargaining feature. Ideated brand name: AutoAnna Target Customers: Age group of 18-40 living in Bangalore Campaign: Show the frustration of bargaining Ad Script Guy 1(Passenger): Anna will you go to Nexus Mall? Guy 2(Rickshaw driver): Yes, it will cost you 350 Guy 1(Passenger): Anna, that's too high, it's near only Guy 2(Rickshaw driver): You can look for another auto Guy 1(Passenger): Let's go at 150 <face look tired> Guy 2(Rickshaw driver): 350 will be last Guy 3(Random guy passing by): Arre, why are you guys making soo much noise in the Bangalore traffic? Guy 1(Passenger): He is charging too much for this short-distance Guy 3(Random guy passing by): That's it?? Why don't you try AutoAnna, it will help you get autos without getting into the frustration of bargaining. We acted this ad in front of 20-25 people, but there was a catch. We didn't reveal the idea before we started acting, we asked the crowd to guess the product and funnily no one guessed in the first go. So, we acted once again with a little improvisation and this time they guessed the product and what the ad was about. Fun fact: After we acted 2nd time, a girl from the crowd shouted that this would be an interesting integration in NammaYatri(Auto Booking App) even before we asked them whether they got the idea of the product or not. No matter how well you have written, directed, produced, or distributed your ad, instead of guessing or assuming -> go and talk to your target customer -> show ad to your friend who can be prospect customer -> Study their behavior and get real data Note: This campaign was part of a fun activity. cc: @beinganandarya
