  • Ramesh Babu is a Bangalore-based barber who gives customers a haircut for a modest ₹100 but owns a Rolls Royce Ghost worth ₹ 3 crore, and 67 other cars. When his father died in 1979, Ramesh, a nine year-old boy, was literally on the streets. The barber shop his father ran on Brigade Road's St Patrick's Complex was rented out for ₹ 5 per day. Ramesh's family survived on that money. Babu was nine when his father died in 1979, leaving the family with nothing. To make ends meet, they rented out his father's saloon on Brigade Road for a mere ₹5 per day. Forced to get a fulltime job, Babu dropped out of school after Class 10 and started working as a barber. The career choice paid off better than he could have imagined. In 1991, he started his own salon, Inner Space, which gained popularity among the city's trendy bunch. But the turnaround happened in 1994, when Babu purchased a humble Maruti Omni van and started renting it out. Seventeen years later, his car collection is anything but humble. Apart from the Rolls Royce, his fleet includes four Mercedes, an equal number of BMWs and 50 Toyota Innovas

    Look how is struggling to recall his story. Because it just brings back all the pain that he had felt. I am sure every sensible and sensitive person would definitely cry to watch this video. Even this day, he is so humble. I salute you Ramesh Babu...

    Wow that was so inspiring! 😊👍👌
    For those who weren't happy with the presentation, please bear in mind that English is adapted language. Kannada is our native language (for those who are native to Karnataka)
    One should at least try appreciating his humble efforts than criticize him.
    Thanks TED for this motivational presentation!

    It is an inspiring and motivational story, I was so sad for losing his father in his early stage and also it is very hard to work and earn money without his father. Each word in the speech told by his heart and it is very inspired.
    -Work hard.
    -Take risks sometimes when you are doing work to get success.
    -Be humble to everyone.
