Pune: A former Google employee was recently discovered by a Bengaluru resident when he booked an Uber Moto service. The driver who arrived turned out to be an ex-Google employee, who had relocated to Bengaluru less than a month ago and had chosen to work as an Uber driver to explore the city.
The resident, Raghav Dua, took to social media platform X to share this unexpected encounter with the Googler-turned-driver. Dua shared the incident with a tweet, stating that his Uber Moto driver is an ex-Google employee who had moved to Bengaluru from Hyderabad 20 days ago and is driving for Uber to explore the city.
The comments section on X received an overwhelming number of reactions, with numerous users describing the situation as quintessential. It was noted that even taxi drivers possess impressive technological backgrounds.
A user expressed, “This is the epitome of Bengaluru, where even taxi drivers can be former Google employees.”
Another user shared their perspective, stating that it is a productive approach to discover a city. They recounted a similar encounter, mentioning, “I had a similar experience where I met a 53-year-old former bank manager from Visakhapatnam who now resides in Delhi. He rides Rapido to connect with people and explore all corners of the city, to create a documentary. He is truly a resilient individual.”
During a recent ride, a passenger in Bengaluru had an unexpected encounter with a tech professional who arrived on a Royal Enfield motorcycle. This is not the first time such encounters have occurred, as evidenced by comments from other users who have also experienced similar situations.
