Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez have posed in front of the iconic Taj Mahal on their tour of India.
Bezos, who unveiled a fleet of electric delivery rickshaws yesterday, stood with Sanchez in front of the reflecting pool which leads to the 338-year-old mausoleum in Agra on Tuesday.
The richest man in the world last week announced a $1billion investment program for the country at a conference in New Delhi, rubbed shoulders with Bollywood stars and flew kites with local youths.
But he faced furious protests the day after his arrival by street traders who claim the e-commerce giant is destroying their livelihoods. They waved placards saying 'Jeff Bezos, Go back.'
After arriving Tuesday, Bezos paid tribute to India's independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, dressing in an Indian kurta to lay flowers at a memorial in Delhi.
