Anand Mahindra, who is fairly active on social media had recently shared a picture of someone who he thought could teach marketing to students of management. The chairman of the Mahindra group had tweeted about a man sitting in front of a billboard that offered to cure ‘hurt shoes’. What stood out was the way he described himself. He called his establishment ‘Dr Nasseeram’s hospital’ where shoes were treated. After sharing the picture, he had asked people on social media to provide him with some information regarding the man. "If anyone can find him and he’s still doing this work I’d like to make a small investment in his ‘startup’," he had tweeted on April 17. And now he has taken to social media again to share the news that he did find the man.
