- Driver started opening car door for Gupta on the third day of work
- Driver's behavior changed after overhearing a Rs 100-500 crore deal discussion
Astrotalk CEO Puneet Gupta recently shared a story about how people's perceptions can change with money, and it all began with his new driver's unexpected behaviour.
Gupta said in a post on X that he had hired a driver for the first time.
Everything went on as usual for the first two days, but on the third day, something unexpected happened, he said in the post. The driver suddenly got out of the car and started opening the car door for Gupta. This surprised him.
He asked the driver why he was doing so, saying he could open the door himself. The driver smiled and replied that opening the door is part of his job.
Check out the post here:
Gupta initially didn't understand the reason for the driver's changed attitude but later remembered a phone call from the previous day. He realised that the driver had probably overheard their conversation, in which they were discussing a deal worth Rs 100 to Rs 500 crore.
Then he realised that the driver's extra respect was a result of that conversation. Gupta wrote that after hearing such a large amount, the driver probably thought his boss was a very influential person, and therefore, he considered it his responsibility to open the car door for him.
