'Pawned mother's gold': Boatman who earned crores during Maha Kumbh recalls gamble
India TodayThe 45-day Maha Kumbh turned out to be a life-changing event for a boatman from Naini, Prayagraj. What began as a desperate gamble -- mortgaging his mother’s jewellery to build more boats -- ended up in an astonishing success story that was brought up by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the state Assembly. A LEAP OF FAITH Months before the Maha Kumbh, Pintu foresaw the opportunities presented by the expected influx of pilgrims and realised that if he and his family could expand their fleet of boats, they could earn enough to change their lives. The family went all in, building and acquiring 130 boats, preparing for what they hoped would be the busiest Maha Kumbh of their lifetime. FROM DESPAIR TO A DREAM COME TRUE By the time the Maha Kumbh concluded on February 26, Pintu’s family had amassed earnings of nearly Rs 30 crore.
