The great Vishal Mega Mart meme war has begun
A meme fest of epic proportions has erupted across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Reddit after netizens jokingly suggested that cracking the Vishal Mega Mart guard role is tougher than the UPSC, IIT-JEE, or NEET. From mock 'coaching centres' for aspiring guards to dramatic reels featuring parents praying for their child's job confirmation, the meme game has gone from 0 to 100 real quick.

"One dream – Vishal guard" isn't funny—it's a mirror of a broken system.Vishal Mega Mart's viral ads mock India's youth, reducing ambition to memes. Crores in profit, yet dignity in jobs is missing. We deserve better.#VishalMegaMart #IndianYouth #JobCrisis #IndiaAwake pic.twitter.com/evwb8QQoGp

But is the job actually that tough to get? And does the salary match the meme-worthy struggle? Let us break it down.
What is the salary for a Vishal Mega Mart security guard?
Big News, EveryoneAfter years of dreaming, hustling, and manifesting greatness… I've finally made itI'm thrilled (and totally not questioning my life choices) to announce that I've joined Vishal Mega Mart. Yes, THE Vishal. The mega one. The mart-est of them all. pic.twitter.com/7hht0S73Nh
Despite the mockery suggesting it is a 'dream job' that requires Olympian-level effort, the actual pay for security guards at Vishal Mega Mart is fairly grounded.
According to data from Glassdoor and Ambition Box:
Freshers earn around Rs 9,000 to Rs 12,000 per month.
Experienced guards can take home between Rs 13,000 and Rs 18,000.
Supervisors can make between Rs 19,000 to Rs 25,000 per month.
So no, there is no Rs 1 lakh per month for standing at the entrance and scanning bags. If you are dreaming of switching careers post-meme madness, here is the breakdown of what different roles actually pay at the retail giant:
Cashiers and Billers: Rs 12,000 – Rs 18,000/month
Customer Service Executives: Rs 15,000 – Rs 22,000/month
Sales Associates: Rs 1 lakh – Rs 4 lakh annually
Department Managers: Rs 3 lakh – Rs 4 lakh annually
Assistant Store Managers: Rs 4 lakh – Rs 5 lakh annually
Store Managers: Up to Rs 9 lakh annually
Buyers/Senior Buyers: Rs 6 lakh – Rs 18 lakh annually
Clearly, if you want the big bucks, guarding the front door might not be your best bet. But as memes go, it is pure gold.
Why did this meme even go viral?
Nobody knows exactly where it began, but the joke hit a nerve. In a country where job scarcity is a real issue, satire has become a coping mechanism. The National Statistical Office recently reported that urban unemployment is at 6.5%. So when someone joked about the 'impossible odds' of landing a Vishal Mega Mart security job, the internet responded with the only tool it has, memes.

One viral post even depicted a fake coaching centre called 'Vishal Guard Academy' promising 100% placement with a crash course in 'bag checking and crowd control.' Another meme dramatically compared a guard interview to an IAS viva.

This auto driver earns Rs 800000 per month, doesn't ride for single KM but earns in lakhs due to…
Indians businesspersons are known for their unique business strategies. Recently a LinkedIn post about an auto driver from Mumbai went viral on social media. According to the post by Rahul Rupani autorickshaw driver earns in lakhs per month, without even driving an autorickshaw like other auto drivers. He uses his auto for a different purpose which is itself an unique business idea which no one can think of. Rahul Rupani, a product leader at Lenskart, shared the story of the autorickshaw driver who waits outside the US Consulate. Rahul had taken a visa appointment there, and after reaching there he got to know from the security staff that he can't carry a bag inside the building. As per the consulate's regulations, visitors are not allowed to carry their bags inside. Rahul didn't find any alternatives to keep the bags as there were no lockers provided by them. When Rahul was worried standing outside the US consulate then this autorickshaw driver came to his rescue. The driver told Rahul that he will keep his bag safe, but Rahul didn't trust him immediately. But when he found the driver's business he was also surprised. The Mumbai autorickshaw driver was storing bags of the visitors with charges Rs. 1000 each. According to the post he was keeping 20 to 30 bags like this daily. After knowing this Rahul decided to keep his bag with auto driver. Sharing the full story Rahul wrote: 'I was outside the US Consulate this week for my visa appointment, when security told me I couldn't carry my bag inside. No lockers. No suggestions. Just: Figure it out. While I stood clueless on the footpath, an auto driver waved at me. 'Sir, bag de do. Safe rakhunga, mera roz ka hai. Rs. 1000 charge hai.' I hesitated. Then gave in. And that's when I discovered this guy's brilliant business.' Rahul mentioned in a linked post how the autorickshaw driver doesn't travel a single km, but earns from Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh per month. Rahul also shared another story wherein the auto driver has teamed up with a local police officer, who has a small locker near the US Consulate, because he has no space or cannot legally keep 30 bags in his vehicle. Rahul added: 'But it gets better: Since he can't legally keep 30 bags in his auto, he's partnered with a local police officer who owns a small locker space nearby. Bags go there. Legal. Secure. Zero hassle. The auto just acts as the conversion funnel. And while most people are sweating over US visa interviews, this guy is running a zero-mile, hyper-profitable, bootstrapped operation. No MBA. No startup jargon. Just pure hustle and street-smart product-market fit.'

Contract firm KNRC blames slushy soil for NH collapse
KOCHI: KNR Constructions (KNRC) said the company has made no 'mistake' in the construction of NH 66 and attributed the collapse of the highway stretch at Kooriyad in Malappuram to unexpected subsoil conditions. According to KNRC, the company responsible for the Ramanattukara-Valanchery section of NH 66, the approach ramp with a reinforced earth (RE) wall yielded due to 'pockets of soft or slushy soil between the earth's layers' beneath the foundation. The Hyderabad-based listed company, in its latest earnings call, stated that the construction process followed proper protocols. 'We are very confident that we have not done any mistake... It's a completely waterlogged area... Proper approvals were taken, and thorough examination of the foundations were done during earthing, along with subsoil investigations,' K Jalandhar Reddy, promoter and executive director of KNRC, said in the call. Responding to analysts' questions, Reddy explained that the designs were made accordingly, and Strata Geosystems, a renowned RE Walls agency, had done the work. 'The design was verified and approved by the authorities concerned before execution. So, as such, we didn't see anything that would have indicated this issue. We treat this as an accident only,' he said. He said the company has put forth a proposal to NHAI to construct a viaduct in the damaged area —estimated to cost Rs 25-Rs 30 crore — to permanently resolve the issue. Reddy said this solution would prevent similar problems in the future given the road's 15-year maintenance requirement.
