The student, pursuing an MBA in finance, boldly commented on the thread, saying, “Hi, can you please give me a referral for a fresher’s role?” While many were focused on tickets, one Razorpay employee noticed the comment and replied humorously, “Asking for referral even in the Coldplay queue. This is the coldest of emails I have ever seen.”
Undeterred, the student cleverly responded, “I’m in a queue too, to get selected by a good company. You’re from Razorpay. I think you should give me a referral too.” Impressed by the audacity, the Razorpay employee asked the student to send a direct message, ultimately leading to the student landing a few referrals.
This interaction has gained attention for showcasing the power of seizing unconventional opportunities, even in the most unexpected settings.
