‘Nagpur resident Sunil Patil, popularly known as ‘Dolly Chaiwalla’, whose video with Microsoft founder Bill Gates went viral, on Thursday said he did not recognise the billionaire businessman initially and came to know who he was only after their meeting took the Internet by storm.
Gates, who is visiting India, on Wednesday shared a video on Instagram with Patil, a popular tea seller in Nagpur, and praised India’s innovation culture. The video was shot in Hyderabad.
“In India, you can find innovation everywhere you turn, even in preparation of a simple cup of tea,” the tech titan and philanthropist said in a post shared along with the video.
