Mumbai man accidentally pays auto driver Rs 15,682, then something unusual happens

Key points

• A Mumbai man said he accidentally transferred Rs 15,682 to an auto-rickshaw driver while rushing to an important client meeting, only realising something had gone wrong after the meeting itself turned into a disaster.
• Shubham Gune, the Mumbai-based founder and CEO of Hinglish, shared the experience in a LinkedIn post, recalling how a hectic morning took an unexpected turn after he accidentally transferred far more money than intended while paying for an auto ride.
• According to Gune, the day began with a rush to meet an international client who was in the city for just one day.
• Running late for a 7 am meeting, he quickly opened Google Pay outside the building to pay for an auto ride that had cost Rs 156. In a hurry, however, he mistakenly entered Rs 15,682 instead of Rs 156 and completed the transaction before rushing inside.
