New Delhi: A street vendor selling golgappas is generating a lot of discussion on social media these days. A viral video claims that the seemingly ordinary panipuri vendor earns around ₹90,000 per month. This claim has sparked debate, especially among working professionals.

Viral Video Shocks People

This video, shared by content creator cassiusclydepereira, shows a street vendor's daily earnings and working methods. According to the video, this vendor sells 80 to 100 plates of golgappas daily.

If a plate costs ₹30, his daily earnings reach around ₹3,000. This translates to approximately ₹90,000 per month. The remarkable thing is that this income occurs in just six hours, between 4 pm and 10 pm.

People compared salaries

As soon as the video went viral, social media was flooded with reactions. Many users compared their own salaries to this vendor's earnings. One user wrote, "This is even more than my CTC," while another joked, "Street vendors are now earning more than graduates."

This discussion is spreading rapidly, especially among young people, who are comparing traditional jobs and small businesses.

Earnings vs. Profits: What's the Real Math?

However, some people have questioned this claim. They say that ₹90,000 may be total sales (turnover), not net profit. After deducting expenses like potatoes, spices, panipuri, gas, and other expenses, the actual earnings could be significantly lower.

Despite this, many users believe that earning so much in such a short time is remarkable.

Sign of Changing Mindset

This viral video also points to a major social shift, where people are now viewing small businesses and self-employment from a new perspective.

Small jobs like selling golgappas are often overlooked, but this example shows that with hard work and the right strategy, any job can become a source of good income.
