The video also begins with the line, “He left Amazon and started Uber/Rapido.” Singh then introduces the driver as Kumar and says, “Hi guys, I got an Uber cab today and with me is Kumar sir and he was working at Amazon first and now to follow his passion he started driving… because driving is his passion.” India Today and Moneycontrol both reported the same story, and both said the clip quickly won hearts online.

Kumar says driving gives him more than money. It gives him people, stories, and a chance to see Hyderabad every day. In the conversation, Singh said, “I usually don’t see people following their passion in India.” Kumar has been driving since 2014, when Uber started growing in India, and he has finished nearly 23,600 trips so far. Reports also say he is one of Uber’s highest-rated drivers.
According to the reports, Kumar left his corporate life and moved into driving because he truly enjoys it. He likes meeting people from many backgrounds and does not see the job as just a job. He sees it as something he can do every day with real interest.
Social Media Reacts
The story spread fast on social media, and many users left kind messages for Kumar. One commenter wrote, “Hyderabad has a mix of everything. Keep following your dreams.” Another said, “He’s simply following his heart and pursuing his passion with dedication. Great work, sir! You’re not following the crowd- you’re creating your own path.” A third user added, “Loved this reel. Respect to both of you. This story really inspired me to reconnect with a passion I had put aside. Thanks for sharing such a powerful message!”
People also suggested that Kumar could try content creation because his story may inspire others who feel stuck in jobs they do not love. One more viewer shared a similar driving story and said they had also left cab driving under one platform and moved to another because it made them happier.
