A Benglurian’s tweet sharing his encounter with a Rapido rider is just extraordinary. An engaging story from the startup hub has the internet talking.
Peak Bengaluru moment
In a recent trend that’s grabbing people’s attention in Bengaluru, citizens share their experiences on Twitter describing a situation, interaction, or something they noticed in the city that could be classified as a ‘Peak Bengaluru’ moment.
Parag Jain, a Twitter user, shared a similar incident from Bengaluru. He shared how he had a mixed ‘Peak Bengaluru’ moment as a Rapido rider came to pick him up at his office WeWork, a provider of coworking spaces.
During the ride, the man asked him which floor he worked on. When Parag asked him if he had been in the building, he replied that he used to work in the same building two years ago.

Filmmaker cum Rapido rider
He said that he used to work in the operations team of a Chinese company. Nevertheless, after the ban on Chinese apps, he lost his job in March 2020. He also couldn’t find another job due to the pandemic and thought of working on his passion for ‘directing films’.

He said that he created a mini-series by investing all his savings. The series received a good response and interest from an OTT platform. But he rejected it due to some commercial issues.
As he was not earning money for the last two years, he finally thought of riding Rapido part-time just to survive. The man has not told his mother that he has been doing Rapido trips as he doesn’t want her to worry.

Has some talent, needs some user feedback and then based on that re edit the series. Making the first few minutes of episode one clearer would go a long way.
Also add episode names that entice the viewer.

The pick up is a bit slow. Sorry I lost patience. But am so impressed that he did this anyway. There is potential here & he probably needs some direction. Will someone do that in Bollywood? @anuragkashyap72 and Dibakar Bannerjee..or someone from South Indian film industry do this
