'Me Paisa Bohat Kama Sakta Hun', Man Seeking Funding Tells Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma In Hilarious Email
Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma shared a hilarious email he received from a man seeking funding to start his toys company.
Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma is often at the receiving end of some bizarre emails and yesterday he shared a very hilarious email that someone sent him.
This email was from a man seeking funding for his start-up idea, which is a study on how not to write pitch decks.

It starts with the man explaining that he studied more in the last eight months - everything from Socrates to Newton to Swami Vivekanand than he did in 18 years of school.
He goes further to talk about his two rules in life, his assurance that he can build a trillion-dollar business and the importance of money before coming to the point of the email - his goal of building the world's number one toy company.
"Sir me paisa to bohat kama sakta hu trillion dollar business - textile, telecom, real estate beer alcohol jaisa hazaro steel etc (Sir I can earn a lot of money, I can set up a trillion-dollar business in textile, telecom, real estate etc)," the man wrote in his email. "Aaj k samay air, water, friends, family k baad important hai to paisa (money) hai (In this day and age, money is most important after air, water, friends and family)," he continued.
After beating around the bush, he finally came to the point to say that he aims to start a toy company. "Mera aims hai No 1 toys company in the world (Nxt level)," he said. (My aim is to build the world's number one toy company next level)

He mentioned that he approached five venture capital companies, however, no one agreed to fund his business plan. He further said that if he had 1 trillion dollars and someone asked him for 0.01 per cent of it, he would fund that person easily.
Mr Sharma followed it up with another gem from his inbox. In the second email, a Hyderabad man elaborates on his dream of building a "progress report" app for small business owners, similar to report cards handed out to schoolchildren.
And ¡ we will have profits of $2.25 Bn.

He seems to be fully frustrated by that no one is taking interest in his idea. But I really didn¡¯t get the starting sentence, in which he stated I studied a lot in last few days. Why he was telling that?

Such emails must be entertaining at times amid aggressive pitches loaded with heavy financials.
