- In a Nov. 19 X post, Ankur Warikoo said his driver now earns ₹53,350 per month after a fixed 11% annual raise, up from ₹15,000 when he joined 13 years ago.
- The compensation includes health insurance, a one‑month Diwali bonus and a scooty, with Warikoo expressing hope the salary reaches ₹1 lakh within 5–6 years.
- Warikoo described the driver as a trusted family partner who holds duplicate house keys, knows their ATM PIN, drives the children and manages key errands.
- Social reactions were largely positive, praising dignity of labour and employer‑backed benefits, with some commenters noting typical driver wages remain far lower.
- Some users warned that revealing personal details and a photo could pose security risks, and Warikoo confirmed the shared ATM PIN is for his personal account.
