A meeting in Bengaluru’s notorious traffic? That’s the quirky idea shared by a techie on X (formerly Twitter) and the internet can’t stop buzzing. The post, which featured an image of a luggage truck carrying office chairs, with a man casually seated on one, like a rolling conference room, was humorous and quickly went viral, sparking a mix of amusement and curiosity among users.
Reactions poured in, with one user joking, “This idea is both productive and fun, though no one will focus on work!” Another quipped, “No more excuses for missing meetings! Everyone will be on time, traffic or not.”
Some even saw a business opportunity and suggested the concept could be monetized. “This could be the basis of a startup idea,” one user noted.
The post also drew playful remarks about Indian work culture; for instance, in response to Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s recent comments on a 70-hour work week. One joked, “Imagine Murthy seeing this. He might suggest GPS trackers for employees to ensure they’re working in traffic too!”
Bengaluru’s traffic woes aren’t new – the city was recently ranked the world’s third slowest by the 2024 TomTom Traffic Index. The idea of meetings on the go is hilarious, but it highlights the city’s pressing need for better traffic management solutions.
