Bengaluru woman leaves IT career to drive Rapido auto

A woman in Bengaluru has gained social media attention after leaving her career in the IT sector to work as a Rapido auto driver. The decision was prompted by the death of her father and the subsequent need to care for her mother.

According to reports, the former IT professional found that her previous role required night shifts, which prevented her from spending sufficient time with her mother. By transitioning to auto driving, she has gained greater flexibility to manage her time and remain close to her family. She noted that she is currently earning more than she did in her IT job and enjoys more independence.

Her story became public after content creator Tanvi shared a video of their conversation on Instagram. The video highlighted the woman's ability to speak English fluently, which has occasionally surprised passengers, and addressed the social perceptions regarding her unconventional career path.
