Bengaluru is often called the land of surprises as the city always finds a way of catching people off guard. And this time, it was an autorickshaw ride that left one engineer completely stunned.
Bengaluru,
often dubbed the land of surprises, never fails to catch people off guard. This time, it wasn’t the weather or traffic that grabbed attention; it was an autorickshaw ride that left one engineer completely stunned.
On October 4, a techie named Anandani took to social media to share a post about his unusual commute. What began as an ordinary auto ride quickly turned into a story so unexpected that people online could hardly believe it.
The Post That Left Everyone Stunned
In his post, the engineer revealed that the auto driver owned two houses worth around Rs 4–5 crore in total, which together earn him a monthly income of Rs 2–3 lakh. But that wasn’t all, the driver also turned out to be connected to the startup ecosystem, either as a founder or investor in an AI-based company.
“Bangalore is f***ing crazy the auto wala bhaiya said he has 2 houses worth 4-5 crores. Both on rent, earns close to 2-3 lakhs per month, and is a startup founder/investor in an AI based startup bruh,” Anandani wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Social Media Users Poke Fun At The Irony
The post quickly gained traction, racking up nearly 8,000 views in no time. While hundreds of comments poured in, not everyone was convinced by the story. In fact, most responses dripped with sarcasm.
One user joked, “Indeed, Bengaluru is at another level. I once met a baby on his 1st day of school, he told me he had exited 3 startups and had invested in India’s first quantum computing startup. He thinks that after blockchain and AI, quantum computing will be the next tech barrier that humans will be breaking. Such clarity, conviction at such a young age, I felt convinced that India’s future is definitely gonna be bright.”
Another wrote, “On today’s episode of things that never happened,” while someone else added, “And he must be driving the auto to cure his loneliness.”
“Bro saw this in his dream…now selling this as a real story,” a person remarked.
One more sarcastic line read, “Yes, I also met a beggar in Delhi. He is holding 10 per cent in Nvidia and 10 per cent in Open AI but still humble.”
“Auto Driver to friends: I tell people I am worth 5 crores but drive an auto, and they believe me! You can just do things!” an individual said.
Meanwhile, a user pointed out, “He must have either inherited ancestral property or received property from his wife’s side. It’s hard to believe he could have accumulated so many assets just by working as an auto driver. I doubt those properties were earned solely by him.”
The Clarification
As the scepticism grew, the engineer took to the comments section and replied to different commenters.
he told this was the first work he started off with so he drives on weekends sometimes
this guy had apple watch and airpods thats why i was interested and i asked him these kinda questions

Anandani mentioned that he struck up a conversation with the driver after noticing his Apple Watch and AirPods. He added that driving an auto was the “first job” the driver ever took up, which is why he still chooses to drive on weekends.
