‘Not a Corporate Slave’: Bengaluru Man Makes Bold Switch From Office To Auto, Says ‘Money Is Not Only Necessity’

A corporate employee who decided to start over again as an auto driver shared a video of him saying that while he understands that money is a necessity, but money is not the only necessity. In a compelling video, he talks about his decision to leave a corporate job and turn to an auto rickshaw for a livelihood in detail.

The video, in which he says, “Motivating myself for tomorrow. Trying to help anyone who is about to quit,” is not going viral. The man named Rakesh shot a video in an auto rickshaw and shared it online. The clip opens with a text which reads, “Auto driver not a corporate slave anymore.”

Rakesh starts the video, saying, “Hey guys, it’s me riding an auto and not scared of starting all over again.” He added that he was making the video for people who think they are at the hardest phase of their lives.
