Recently, a unique business partnership has gone viral online, where a pani customer shared how he found his go-to pani puri vendor after 10 days and ended up making a business deal with him. Here’s the full story!
Man Makes A Business Deal With Pani Puri Vendor
My panipuri wala disappeared 10 days ago. No cart, no sign. I used to go there almost daily, so it felt strange.
Today I found his number from old GPay payments and called him.
He said he sold his entire cart because his wife was admitted to the hospital.
Everything gone. No…
