Another auto driver went viral last year for speaking fluent English

A 74-year-old auto driver hit social media by storm in 2022 after a tweet about his English-speaking abilities went viral. Pataabi Raman, 60, was a retired English lecturer who had been driving an auto for a living for 14 years.

Nikita Iyer, a Bengaluru-based professional, was taken aback at first when she heard her autorickshaw driver speak fluent English, according to the Hindustan Times. She was intrigued and inquired as to how he learned the language.

It was "a very enriching 45 minutes" that followed, with the 74-year-old auto driver candidly discussing his prior profession as an English lecturer and other things. Iyer then shared her incredible experience on LinkedIn, where it swiftly gained traction.
