Bangalore never fails to amuse people! There is something or the other that is always going on in the IT Hub of India. From Bangaloreans setting up mini libraries on public vehicles like auto to landlords providing start-up advice to their tenants and from interns quitting jobs to start their businesses to whatnot, the city never goes out of stories where everyone is an impressive protagonist of their creative careers. Adding another incident to the list, a social media post went viral. The post showed an auto-rickshaw driver who had a unique note stuck at the back of his auto. The note introduced the driver to his passengers and read about the ‘graduated’ auto driver’s plans for a start-up. The note further informed passengers about the driver being open to receive funds for his start-up, if the passengers were interested.
‘Hi passanger my name is samuel christy I'm a graduate who is looking to raise fund for my startup business idea if your interested please talk to me,” the note read.
The LinkedIn post began to float on social media after getting shared. Most loved the driver’s idea, while the rest hailed the IT Hub of India for being ‘unique’ and ‘work driven’. Many also inquired about the driver in order to help him out.
The post was shared on LinkedIn, by the handle ‘Brendan Rogers’. The post was captioned, “This isn’t Silicon Valley. This is Bangalore India. And it’s just the beginning.” The post was shared 5 days ago and pulled more than 1K views from people.
