And not to post your new shoes or shirt. Technology is meant to bridge the gap between the Common Man and a Celebrity.”

Sonu feels the social-media  platform can be used  to change lives. “And I am glad I’m doing that. I got on Twitter years back.  I didn’t know back then why I had joined Twitter. Today I know.”

Twitter  has been an invaluable tool for Sonu’s missionary zeal. “Every single  day Twitter helps me save  lives. We we were able to connect with 7.5 lakh migrants. We were able to save 2.5 lakh lives during the whole migration process during the lockdown. We are able to do 20-22 life-saving surgeries every day…liver transplant, kidney transplant….you name it! And now we have organized 970  surgeries during the last 3-4 months. I think that’s where twitter came in. The journey is on. I still  have miles to go.”
