In a temple town in Tamil Nadu, Gopal, the youngest trustee, proposed digitising the temple donations and creating a QR code system.
The older trustees scoffed.
“Will Lord Vishnu accept UPI transfers now?” said Subbu Mama sarcastically.
Gopal didn’t push further. Instead, he spoke to a local startup, got a QR code printed, and simply placed it next to the donation box.
The next week’s collection doubled.
Devotees, especially the youth, started giving regularly—many leaving sweet notes via WhatsApp along with the money.
A month later, Subbu Mama asked sheepishly, “How do I link my PayTM?”
🧭 Moral: Innovation doesn’t need permission. Just proof. Let the results speak.
