Another ‘Peak Bengaluru’ mooment

A social media user earlier shared a screenshot of a chat with an intern at his company, stating that the situation was something that could “only happen in Bengaluru”. The Internet agreed with him.

In a social media post, Karthik Sridharan explained that the intern would no longer be interning at his company as his own artificial intelligence start-up had received funding.

In the shared message exchange, the intern was asked why he didn’t come to the office on Friday. “Hey, sorry I took a leave because I had a meeting with a VC. My AI startup got funded. I don't need the internship anymore,” the intern responded.
