It is not alone the excitement of hiscreation being featured with other such innovations at the museum, but the auto driver also received a brand new Supromini-truck in exchange of the modified Auto. The story date back to March 19, 2017 when a social media enthusiast posted the image of Sunil’s auto tagging Anand Mahindra.
