Indian man, Ramesh Babu is not your typical barber. He is a barber with billions in his bank account.
Ramesh did not make his billions from cutting hair (sorry to have kept your hopes up, you can imagine how many heads you have to touch to make a billion) but from running a luxury car rental service in Bengaluru, India.
“I started with renting out my cars to Intel and to other small clients locally. As it was going well, I took a brave step and bought my first E class Mercedes. This was because at that time there was no taxi rental service which rented out luxury cars, even for big delegates,” he says.
Even though Ramesh has recorded a huge success out of renting out luxury cars he still goes to his barber shop every day as he doesn’t want to lose touch with his roots.
“Every morning at 6, I go to the garage to check on the business. Then, by 10.30 I’m in office. And every evening, without fail, by 5.30 I’m at our salon. There are also people who specially come in to get haircuts from me. I have a loyal client base from Kolkata and Mumbai as well,” he says.
