“Where there is a will, there is a way.” Demonitisation proves this proverb to be true again.
Where many are cursing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his decision of scrapping the old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes and fixing the withdrawals limits from ATMs to Rs 2000 a day, some people are coming up with new innovations. After apps like CashNoCash, AtmWale, etc., Delhi based Satjeet Singh Bedi and Govin Kandhari owned BookMyChotu has launched a service to hire helpers to stand in the atm queue on a person’s behalf.
BookMyChotu provides on-demand helpers who can help efficiently by providing soft services, says the description of the website.
The service was launched five days ago, where one can hire a person on an hourly basis paying Rs 90/ hour to stand in the long ATM queue and can join in when his turn is about to come.
“Our boys will not go inside the bank. They will just stand in the queue for our customers as we understand that there can be some emergency and our helpers can help you in the same by saving your valuable time,” is as mentioned on the company’s facebook page.
“Recently, my mother was admitted in the hospital, and I was short of cash. But I could not leave her as the treatment was under process. So I called one of my company’s boy to stand in the nearest ATM queue for me. This certainly saved much of my time. It was then we realised that we can help others with this service too,” said Satjeet to Inc42.
