New Delhi (India), March 30: With #WhatsInTheName, India’s laughing out loud at the outrageously absurd developments in the ordinary. The craze is simple: take a name, any name, and twist it into the most side-splitting misspelling or creative reimagining you can muster. The result? A collective wave of laughter sweeping across the nation as timelines fill with name-based puns and witty wordplay.
So, where did this delightful madness begin? The roots can be traced back to the beloved business reality show “Shark Tank India.” In a recent episode, a former employee from a company called “PumPumPum Cars” presented their experience. One of the show’s judges, Anupam Mittal, was given a lighthearted nickname that shared some similarities with the company’s playful name. Within the Shark Tank community, this sparked a ripple of amusement, and social media quickly jumped on the trend.
But the real fireworks exploded when the trend caught the eye of major publications. The esteemed Times of India, covering the episode, referred to the company as “PamPamPam Cars” – a subtle misspelling seemingly born from the joyous, carefree atmosphere surrounding the show.
