Passage I (Q. 191–195):
When Chandrashekar Pasarge, the owner of Srishti Drishti Saree Centre, began giving away saris for a rupee each, fellow vendors thought he would go bankrupt. He has surprised them, by buying a second shop, bigger than the first and doubling the number of workers. What more, he also expanded the unprecedented discounts to all materials in his shop. Mr. Pasarge’s children, after whom the shop is named, had suggested that he sell saris for a rupee to help poor women affected by demonetisation.
“What can I say? The one rupee sari scheme has brought me luck, I think,” he says, with a broad grin, dealing with the countless customers who now flood his shop. “I will not close shop, I will keep growing,” he adds.
Though he has stopped the “A sari a rupee” scheme, he has introduced several similar schemes. They include saris for₹ 20,₹ 165, and ₹ 265. He is also selling silk saris with face value of ₹ 2,000 at ₹ 450, and a pair of shirt and pant pieces at one fourth the actual price.
The surprise package is the wedding offer where one can walk away with a steel cupboard, refrigerator, bed or other household materials, if the total purchase is a certain amount. Mr. Pasarge insists he is not making losses.
