Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, never fails to surprise us with its quirky and unique stories, particularly when it comes to its corporate culture and landlord-tenant dynamics. With engineers and techies filling nearly every corner of the city, even casual conversations often turn into brainstorming sessions or tech consultations. It’s a place where landlords and tenants can bond over code and ideas, bridging the gap between business and personal life in truly unexpected ways!
Vetri Venthan, an IIM Ahmedabad graduate and fintech entrepreneur, shared a post on X that adds another amusing chapter to the city’s reputation. His landlord, as it turns out, is not just a property owner but also a tech enthusiast. The landlord, a Solutions Architect at Intel, loved Vetri’s fintech product so much that he began offering tech advice over coffee runs.
He shared a screenshot of his conversation with his landlord:
Vetri humorously pointed out that only in Bengaluru would a landlord double up as a tech advisor for a startup. Here’s what he wrote on X:
Bengaluru is the only city where your landlord also becomes Tech Advisor for your startup
My landlord (Solutions Architect at Intel) loved our product & is giving us intros to corporates/advising us on our architecture while meeting us at cafes
