Bangalore resident Ramesh Babu runs the business of cutting and styling hair. He is a billionaire and owns a rent-a-car fleet of 67 alternative cars.
IN HIS SALON
At the Inner Space salon, near Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru, you will spot businessman G. Ramesh Babu talking to his clients and giving them new hairstyles. And this, he does everyday, even though he runs a successful business of renting out luxury cars.
TAXI BUSINESS
Ramesh started his taxi business in 2004 with a Maruti Omni van and today he owns 256 luxury cars, which includes a Rolls Royce, six BMWs, nine Mercedes, a Jaguar, three Audis and many more.
Amazingly, Ramesh charges Rs 75000 a day for the Rolls and his usual clients are corporate bigwigs and visiting Bollywood and Tollywood stars.
“I started with renting out
my cars to Intel and to other small clients locally. As it was going well, I
took a brave step and bought my first E class Mercedes. This was because at
that time there was no taxi rental service which rented out luxury cars, even
for big delegates,” he says.
NO STOPPING
Since then, there has been no stopping Ramesh. From B-town stars
to politicians, everyone has travelled in his cars. “I have had plenty of
clients and thus, my cars have been used by many big names. From Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan to Amitabh Bachchan to SRK, mostly everyone has been driven around in
my cars.”
Ramesh, a +2 dropout, who later finished a diploma in Electronics from
Industrial Training Institute, has been a humble man. Ramesh still goes to his
barber shop every day as he doesn’t want to lose touch with his roots.
