Comics and the big screens tell amazing stories about friendly neighborhood super heroes fighting crime. But have you ever seen one take on an everyday job selling petai?
Selva Kumar’s decided to take a unique approach to promoting his petai business by dressing up as Spiderman while selling and delivering his goods. The 22-year-old from Slim River, Perak is currently perusing his degree in business administration. With the support of his grandmother, Selva took up his late grandfather’s pettai business — who passed away 7 years ago.
Speaking to Selva, since running the business 2 months ago, he would be looking out for potential costumers. That was before Spiderman swung into the picture. Now people are looking out for superhero and the Petai he brings along.
Selva expressed that initially it was hard to face criticism by people around him.
“ They made fun of me, many laughed even asked why I’m not shooting out webbing. I felt low but the joy in people’s faces when they see me dressed up as Spiderman and the positive comments on social media kept me going, and hoping for the best!”
He also added that his idea of the business is not just to sell the goods but also the showmanship, and the idea is working in his favor! Parents in and around Slim River contact Selva to purchase his goods as their kids get to take pictures with their favorite super hero when he delivers petai. Selva enjoys the joy he brings to the families.
Selva is currently awaiting his results for application to join the police force. We wish him the best of luck in his future undertakings. If you are around Slim River remember to look out for the friendly neighborhood Spiderman!
