Who Is Businessman Baba?

Businessman Baba, now clad in saffron robes and rudraksha beads, once led a luxury lifestyle as the head of a multi-crore business. In a viral Instagram video shared by Daily Overdose, he explains how material wealth failed to bring him peace. “True contentment lies beyond riches,” he says in the clip, which shows him distributing blankets and offering his shawl to a needy man at the Kumbh.

Public Reactions to His Transformation

The video sparked mixed responses online. Supporters praised his courage to embrace simplicity. Critics questioned his motives, with one user commenting, “This seems like a new business model.” Others debated whether his privileged background allowed him to understand true renunciation.
