Stuck In Bengaluru Traffic, Startup Co-Founder And Colleague Brainstorm Ideas On Onboarding Plan

Social media is flooded with stories of “peak Bengaluru” moments- a word used to unique events that unfold in India’s IT capital. Recently, another uncommon and extraordinary sight amid a traffic scene captured by a user surfaced on social media and it beautifully underscored the entrepreneurial spirit of the “Startup Capital of India.” This viral moment has taken the digital realm by storm as it commemorates another “peak Bengaluru” moment.

Ankit Parasher, co-founder of Salt and Lets Transport, shared a remarkable moment on X. While stuck in heavy Bengaluru traffic on his way to the office, he coincidentally ran into his colleague and neighbour, Shival Srivastava. Instead of letting the traffic frustrate them, they utilised the time to brainstorm ideas for a new onboarding flow for their upcoming venture.

Ankit, sharing the post on his X handle, wrote, “Before moving to Bengaluru, I heard about the startup vibe and the crazy traffic. Today, they merged! Stuck at a red light, @_shivamsr and I brainstormed our new onboarding flow. We were late to the office, but it was a productive detour!”

Within a day of sharing the post, reactions flooded in. While some users were amazed by the idea to utilise the time in such a productive manner, a few others suggested him to opt for carpooling to prevent traffic in the city. Meanwhile, the post has amassed around 23,000 views.

Earlier, another picture depicting the entrepreneurial spirit of the city made it to the Internet originating from a user on the platform X. This particular image hailed from a Bengaluru shopping mall and featured a familiar sight of an internal food court. However, what was truly commendable was the customary billboards which were transformed into the ones adorned with portraits of renowned entrepreneurs. These portraits featured the likes of Jack Ma, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Sheryl Sandberg, and more.
