New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS): A car with a licence plate of "PhonePe" written on it has been spotted in California, the US, by a user on X.

A keen observer and X user Satyan Gajwani has shared the snapshot of the car, saying, "Spotted on the streets of Palo Alto @_sameernigam @PhonePe. Does this make it a global brand?."

Gajwani's post was directed at PhonePe's CEO, Sameer Nigam.

One user in the comments mentioned, "And I know exactly who that car belongs to."

Later, the mystery behind who owns the car is resolved, when the owner himself stepped up.
