Amid the coronavirus pandemic, people have been coming up with innovative ideas to maintain social distancing. The chairman of Mahindra Group Anand Mahindra took to Twitter to share one such 'Corona innovation'. Mahindra posted a video of an e-rickshaw driver who has compartmentalized his vehicle in a manner that no two passengers come in direct physical contact with each other.

Impressed by the driver's innovation he also tagged Rajesh Jejurikar, the executive director - Auto and Farm Sectors, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, and asked him to hire the driver as an advisor to his R&D and product development teams.

The video showed how the e-rickshaw driver had used covers to segregate the rickshaw in five sections for his passengers. This way each passenger, including him, could sit in a designated space without coming in contact with the other person.  The man recording the video was also heard saying, "This is called corona innovation."
