He was happy with the part-time job offer, as it would allow him to study the industry closely. It didn’t matter to him that an MBA aspirant was driving a taxi; he thinks everything is a learning opportunity. It will help him grow. Not only that, but he also started his part-time job after three months, and on the very first day, he realized it is a very tough job.
He decides to use everything he had learned from the other taxi drivers before starting the job. These drivers were older than him, yet Krishna blended with them perfectly. They helped him, and he helped them in return.
Now the theoretical part is over, it is time for the practicals. His boss seemed rude to his employees and cared only about the business. Nothing else mattered to his boss. His boss’s name is Dev Mehta, but he is known as Devil because he is hated by the employees and even the customers due to his behavior. Even if an accident occurs, he would prioritize his cars first, then the customers, and then maybe the employees, which Krishna thought was not a good trait for anyone who is providing employment.
Krishna always carries a diary to note down everything in points that he thinks are important and the areas where he could improve.
On the very first day, during his training period, he completed it much faster and more accurately than others, and the boss became happy with him, believing he would generate good profit with less maintenance. Therefore, he allowed Krishna to drive the taxi on the road as a taxi driver, a privilege usually granted after a minimum of two weeks of training.
Other employees were shocked but understood when they realized the motive behind this was earning more money, which made them even more disappointed. Krishna was ready for his first day as a part-timer, an employee, and even an entrepreneur, as this would be his first step towards his startup/business aimed at providing comfort for employees and customers.
He started the taxi, and his boss came running, warning him not to give lifts for free and not to allow passengers to pay later. If they do not have money, he should search for another passenger and ensure that the taxi remains unscratched. Krishna reassured him not to worry and that he would take care of the taxi more than himself. His boss liked his confidence.
Krishna was waiting for a passenger and finally got a very nice one who was so friendly that Krishna couldn't believe someone from the royal side could be so kind to a menial worker. Despite a gut feeling that something bad might happen, he accepted him as his passenger. The passenger's over-friendliness made Krishna uneasy, but he ignored his inner feelings.
When they reached a silent area, Krishna’s fears were realized. The passenger, who turned out to be from the menial side, intended to rob him, as the car was worth much more and was pure luxury. However, in the realm of the royals, it meant nothing. The robber wanted the car and any money Krishna had, but since it was Krishna's first day and the robber was his first passenger, he had nothing to offer. The robber then pulled out a gun, but Krishna begged him to spare the car, promising to pay him more than the car’s value if he gave him a chance.
The robber, confused, concluded that Krishna might be the heir of a royal family and decided to kidnap him to demand ransom from his parents. Krishna revealed that he was poor and without parents, so there was no one to pay a ransom. Disappointed, the robber didn't notice when Krishna cleverly drove to a police station. The main inspector, who knew Krishna, instantly acted upon the message Krishna had sent, informing them about the situation. They arrested the robber, appreciating Krishna's bravery and quick thinking.
Krishna had continuously engaged the robber in conversation to distract him. When the robber told Krishna to stop the car, Krishna explained that the taxi was monitored by his boss via GPS, and stopping would trigger a call from his boss, who might inform the police if he didn’t answer. This ruse allowed Krishna to keep driving until they reached the police station. The robber, losing his senses, accepted this offer and was consequently jailed. It turned out the robber had a bounty of 1 million dollars on his head for previously robbing the royals, who were willing to spend millions to catch him.
Since Krishna had caught the robber, he was entitled to the bounty. However, he insisted it was a coincidence. The royals, impressed by his bravery, decided to give him even more money. Krishna asked them to donate the money to "The God’s Helping Hand" NGO, where he volunteered. They agreed.
On his way home, Krishna received a call from his team manager, who shocked him by saying, “Sir, Mohit here.”
Krishna answered, "Yes, Mohit. Is everything alright?"
Mohit replied, "Sir, you won’t believe what just happened."
Krishna said, "I’ve told you not to call me sir; we are like friends. Can you elaborate on what happened and what you are talking about?"
Mohit continued, "Alright, Krishna. Buckle up because what you are about to hear will shock you."
Krishna responded, "Yes, I am listening, Mohit."
Mohit exclaimed, "I just got a notification that someone donated 1.8 million dollars to our NGO!"
Both were happy and excited. Krishna told Mohit that he was aware of the donation, as he had suggested it to the royals, but he hadn't expected them to donate so much or so quickly. They couldn't believe the amount, so Krishna instructed Mohit to check with the bank to verify the donation.
