Bengaluru, the city known for its entrepreneurs, coders and techies, has once again made headlines for a rather unique reason. A post now going viral shows a local auto driver listening to Naval Ravikant’s podcast while driving, something that many are calling a “Peak Bengaluru Moment”.

An X user @0xTanwar recently posted an image that has now gone viral. It shows an auto driver in Bengaluru listening to a podcast by Naval Ravikant, the well-known American entrepreneur and angel investor. Ravikant is known not just for his investments, but also for his insightful takes on wealth, happiness and personal development.
The photo shows a small screen fitted inside the auto, playing the podcast, captured during an evening commute. The caption under the post read, “It doesn’t get more peak Bengaluru than this,” and honestly, it’s true. The city has often been called the ‘Silicon Valley of India’ thanks to its massive startup scene and strong investor presence.
A “Peak Bengaluru Moment”
The post caught the attention of many. One user commented, “Find me a better image that captures the true essence of blr” Another added a sarcastic touch and wrote, “Listening to podcasts while navigating Bengaluru traffic. Peak Bengaluru at its finest. Peak productivity in peak traffic.”
A third user said, “That’s how you get rich while driving an auto,” while someone else jokingly pointed out the visible pothole in the photo, writing, “This auto driver’s multitasking game is on another level—watching a podcast, navigating with Google Maps, and dodging Bengaluru potholes all at once! I can’t even drink water while walking straight.”
Whether taken lightly or seriously, the moment captured is, according to us, commendable. Rickshaw drivers using their working hours to feed their minds with productive content is not something we see every day.
