Rahul Krishnan, co-founder of Ranveer Singh-backed sexual health brand Bold Care, in a bizarre social media stunt, shared his debit card details on X, and asked strangers to spend money using it. The entrepreneur did this to celebrate “Sextember”, the brand’s initiative to dedicate September as a month of spreading awareness about men’s sexual wellness and health, and spent lakhs paying for strangers.
Krishnan shared his debit card number, expiry date, and security code in a now-viral X post saying he would pay the bill for strangers with a condition that the order amount should not exceed Rs 1,000. He then spent a few hours sharing one-time passwords (OTP).
“my card number is 4216-8701-5010-2349. the expiration date is 12/30. the security code is 207. happy sextember everyone!” he wrote.
In subsequent posts, Krishnan shared several OTPs mentioning the details for the buyers.

The official X handle of the brand made a post with the conditions for using Krishnan’s card. “Wait what??!! Please bhai thode rules set kar lete hain: max transaction INR 1000, whenever you get an OTP SMS, you’ll reply to the main tweet, bas itna hi (Why don’t you need approvals).”

Wait what??!! Please bhai thode rules set kar lete hain:
• max transaction INR 1000
• whenever you get an OTP SMS, you’ll reply to the main tweet
• bas itna hi (Why don’t you need approvals?😭😭)— Bold Care (@GetBoldCare) September 2, 2024
Many X users made purchases on various platforms like Amazon, Swiggy, Zomato, and Myntra using the card. After four hours of sharing OTPs, Krishnan took a break, and notified his followers that the card still had Rs 3 lakh available for use.
Krishnan co-founded the company in 2020 with Rajat Jadhav, Harsh Singh, and Mohit Yadav. Earlier this year, the brand turned heads with its viral advertisement featuring Ranveer Singh and adult movie fame Johnny Sins.
