Most people on the internet are amused after reading the account of the IIT-K guy who tried to sell himself to He has listed himself for a price of Rs 27,60,200 but alas there is no EMI available.
While to many, this might look new and innovative way to highlight your resume but in reality he is not the first one.

We wonder now after being lapped by Flipkart, what will be product listing for Mittal.
