"Mere Paas Canva Hai": Street Vendor's "Savage" Reply To Woman's Offer Of Signage Designing Goes Viral

Canva, a popular free-to-use graphic design platform, reacted to a hilarious video shot in the streets of India, and mentions the company's name. The video shows a street food vendor using his sharp wit when a woman offered to redesign his stall's signage, citing she hadn't received her salary for five months.

The vendor cleverly declined, saying, "Nahi, mere paas Canva hai" (No, I have Canva), implying he could design it himself using the popular graphic design platform.

What Exactly Did The Woman Say?

She asked, "Bhaiya paanch mahine se meri salary nahi aayi hai. Hum mein se kisi ki bhi. Aap batao, aapke liye ye design kar dun main?" (Brother, we haven't received our salaries in five months. You tell me, can I design this for you?).

"Nahi, mere paas Canva hai (No, I have Canva)," the vendor replied as he suggested that he could redesign for free with the help of Canva.
