Kiran Verma, popular as the founder of Simply Blood (a blood donation platform) and his contributions to social causes as a social activist, recently shared a post on his Facebook account, recalling a ‘mistake’ he made almost a decade ago. “I cheated a guy 9 years ago, and the young guy gave me a great lesson for life!” begins Verma in his lengthy post. He detailed how, in 2016, he hired an engineering student as an intern for website work, and despite the intern’s hardworking approach, credibility and repeated reminders, Verma never paid him. Nine years later, the intern’s due was still unclear, so he reached out to Verma after experiencing a similar situation where the intern wasn’t paid. A ‘changed’ Verma further details how this incident and the intern’s humble approach, nine years later, allowed him to accept his ‘mistake.’ The attached screenshots display the exchange of messages between the two, Verma’s apology and finally, the then intern’s dues being cleared. The Facebook post went viral and was met with overwhelming criticism. Although the intern, identified as Suyash Srivastava, also replied in the comments section and credited Verma’s narration, social media users were not impressed with the activist’s move.
