Bengaluru Man Viral Video: A Bengaluru man’s bold choice to leave his corporate job and start a new life as an auto-rickshaw driver has inspired thousands after his video went viral on social media. Rakesh shared the clip with the caption, "Motivating myself for tomorrow. Trying to help anyone who is about to quit." The video opens with a striking text that reads, "Auto driver not a corporate slave anymore." Smiling and confident behind the wheel, Rakesh tells viewers, "Hey guys, it’s me riding an auto and not scared of starting all over again."
He explains that the video is meant for people who feel stuck in the hardest phase of their lives. Rakesh opens up about his struggles, recalling a time when he had lost hope and thought life would never get better. "But here I am. Driving an auto and life is not gonna end or defeat me," he says. "Just live and focus on doing something."
On the topic of money, he shares a simple but powerful message: “I understand money is a necessity, but money is not the only necessity.” He encourages people to recognise what truly matters in life, saying, "Find value for your life, find true purpose." Rakesh also advises viewers to face challenges head-on instead of running away. He wraps up the video by wishing everyone a good day.

It takes real courage to step away from a comfortable corporate job and choose a path that gives you dignity, independence, and peace of mind.

What matters is the strength to stand on your own feet and provide for yourself and your family," wrote a third user.

Love you, bro and may you achieve whatever you have desired without being dependent on anyone," added another user.
