Holidify Co-Founder Kovid Kapoor Goes Viral For His Name

Holidify Co-Founder Kovid Kapoor Goes Viral For His Name

"My name is Kovid and I'm not a virus," reads Kovid Kapoor's bio on Twitter

Before 2020, "Corona" was just another beer in the market and "Kovid" was just another name. The coronavirus pandemic, of course, changed all of that - and nobody is feeling its effect more than the co-founder of Holidify, Kovid Kapoor.  Went outside India for the first time since COVID and got a bunch of people amused by my name. ????Future foreign trips are going to be fun! For those on this thread, wondering what my name actually means - it means scholar / learned.Comes in the Hanumaan Chaleesa.Also, it's pronounced as कोविद not कोविड ???? Now that you mention it.... pic.twitter.com/90FutdBcnF So how does it go...Hey Kovid , please to meet you ???? Hey Kovind, stay positive! https://t.co/w1ETEAyEj4pic.twitter.com/hkyAea2oG0 For my 30th bday, my friends ordered a cake - and Amintiri automatically assumed that it's some kinda joke, and it should be spelled with a C not a K. ???? pic.twitter.com/3jrySteSbC At Starbucks, the guy handing me the coffee pointed out the name to everyone else and they burst out laughing - I mostly use a fake name now. ☕️ pic.twitter.com/79STYv2uG6 When someone in a remote village in UP saw my old photo, from a newspaper, after my IIT selection - from 2008! - at some store, and decided to tag me on Twitter.(sadly, can't find the link!) A Zoomcar customer care guy called me, to process some pending refund, and told me that he had been laughing in the room with the other customer care folks before the call. ????

Mr Kapoor -- who has had to change his Twitter bio to "My name is Kovid and I'm not a virus" -- recently detailed his experience of travelling abroad in a Twitter thread that has gone viral on the microblogging platform. "Went outside India for the first time since COVID and got a bunch of people amused by my name," he wrote, adding: "Future foreign trips are going to be fun!"
