Bengaluru woman books Uber, shocked to find her team lead as driver

Bengaluru, often dubbed the Silicon Valley of India, is a city full of surprises. Known for its booming IT industry and infamous traffic snarls, it also offers unexpected encounters that leave people both amused and amazed. One such unusual incident recently went viral when a woman in the city booked an Uber, only to find her team lead behind the wheel.

The woman, who shared her experience on social media, was stunned when she opened the car door and saw her boss sitting in the driver’s seat. At first, she thought it was a prank. But it turned out that her team lead had indeed signed up as an Uber driver. The reason? Not financial need, but sheer boredom.

According to the post, her boss explained that he drives occasionally to break the monotony of work-from-home life and meet new people. “I don't do it for money,” he reportedly told her. “It's a way for me to kill boredom and interact with different individuals outside of the tech bubble.”

This quirky tale has resonated with many online, with users applauding the boss's down-to-earth attitude and unconventional way of dealing with workplace fatigue. In a city like Bengaluru, where stress levels can run high in the corporate world, such stories bring a refreshing perspective.

While Bengaluru’s traffic may still be a nightmare, it’s clear that the city never ceases to surprise—and sometimes, those surprises come with a very familiar face in the driver’s seat.
