The Billionaire Barber
India has many rags-to-riches stories, but few are told with a comb still in hand. Ramesh Babu G rose from a barber's chair on Brigade Road to command South India's largest luxury fleet — and the standards he set then still drive every RTT journey today.
A comb in one hand, a fleet in the other
Ramesh Babu's office in Ejipura is lined with scale-model cars collected over decades — and parked outside it stand the real ones: one of the country's most storied luxury fleets, all grown from a single Maruti Omni bought in 1993.
The press named him The Billionaire Barber. He has never stopped being either.
