Dinesh is popular on the Indore-Dewas highway in Madhya Pradesh. Known as Chotu to the truck drivers who stop at the workshop just off the road, to get a punctured tyre mended or air-pressure checked, the teenager has been trained on the job and is busy for long hours. “They even wake us up at night if there is an emergency,” says the owner of the tyre-repair outfit.
