The post exploded, amassing over 1,300 likes and 58,000 views in hours, igniting a frenzy of reactions. Netizens oscillated between awe and scepticism with some marvelling at the auto driver's hustle, while others calling it a made-up story.
"This is why Bangalore is the startup capital— even auto drivers are investors!" one cheered, while another quipped, "Sounds like a script from a Bollywood rags-to-riches flick."
However, Anandani insisted the story is true. A third user wrote, "Totally believable if he is an investor, because that just needs money. Founder is a made up story to impress cool dudes for engaging after conversations. People are story tellers."
A fourth added, "He is just an auto driver because he knows being an auto driver is the best way to meet potential founders he can invest into."
" ossible. Loneliness is a major problem in Bangalore. Some high earning people here drive taxis as a hobby to beat that- not for money. I have heard many such cases," yet another said.
