Autorickshaws are a common feature across roads in India. These humble public transport vehicles usually come in basic models. However, innovative drivers are often seen adding a personal twist to the three-wheelers in a bid to ‘upgrade’ them.

The video of one such vehicle is going viral now. The short clip shows an autorickshaw fitted with a cooler on its rear side. Judging by the three-wheeler’s registration plate, it appears that the video was captured in Punjab.

In fact, this is not the only autorickshaw to have caught netizens’ fancy in recent years. In November 2019, Satyawan Gite, a Mumbai-based autorickshaw driver made news for creating a unique ‘home system auto-rickshaw’, equipped with facilities like a washbasin, mobile phone charging points, plants and even a television screen. A sticker on the back of the vehicle asks passengers to, “Take aeroplane ride experience”.

Similarly in May last year, Mahendra Kumar, an autorickshaw driver from Delhi, had a brush with fame after the video of a garden atop his vehicle went viral. Kumar had grown a little kitchen garden with 25 kinds of plants such as tomatoes, okra, snake gourd and spinach on the roof of his three-wheeler. The garden, he said, protected him and his passengers from direct sunlight and also lowered the temperature inside the vehicle.
