A viral video of a quadruple amputee working despite all odds has caught the attention of business tycoon Anand Mahindra, leaving him awestruck.
In the one-minute clip, the man, who has no arms and legs, was seen driving a modified vehicle and answering questions from the person who was recording the video. The quadruple amputee, who was not named in the video, said that he has been working like this for five years. He added that he was the sole breadwinner of his family, which included his old father, two children and wife.
The man even demonstrated how his modified vehicle works, adding that the vehicle includes the engine of a scooty. When praised by the person recording the video, the man just thanked god and went on his way. As per an NDTV report, the clip was filmed in New Delhi. The license plates of other vehicles in the video serve as proof of the same.
Mahindra Group CEO, Anand Mahindra, also came across this video and was awestruck by the man’s spirit and dedication. The industrialist shared the clip on his official Twitter account on 27 December.
He applauded the man and wrote, "Received this on my timeline today. Don’t know how old it is or where it’s from, but I’m awestruck by this gentleman who’s not just facing his disabilities but is GRATEFUL for what he has."
