Business Pitch on Tissue Paper: Entrepreneur’s Unconventional Idea Wins Over Railway Minister

In a remarkable turn of events, Kolkata-based entrepreneur Akshay Satnaliwala seized a unique opportunity during a Vistara flight from Delhi to Kolkata, where he found himself sharing the same flight as Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav. Fueled by entrepreneurial zeal, Akshay decided to make an unconventional pitch to the minister.

Unable to meet the Railway Minister due to security constraints, Akshay ingeniously utilized the resources at hand. He grabbed a tissue paper from his surroundings and, in an impromptu move, penned down his entire business proposal. Braving initial apprehension about the unconventional approach, he sent the tissue paper bearing his entrepreneurial vision directly to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav.

To his astonishment, the unexpected move yielded rapid results. Within a mere 6 minutes of the flight landing, Akshay received a call from the Eastern Railway Headquarters. The call not only validated the seriousness with which the Railway Minister took the proposal but also showcased the potential of unconventional methods in capturing attention.

Expressing his surprise and gratitude, Akshay Satnaliwala revealed that he had not anticipated such a prompt and positive response. Railway officials not only engaged in discussions with him but also delved into the details of his business model. This incident serves as a testament to the notion that innovation and determination in presentation can sometimes outshine even the most polished business pitches.
