A Bengaluru-based software engineer who had booked a ride with Rapido experienced a delightful surprise when his assigned rider arrived on a Royal Enfield Hunter motorcycle. However, the unexpected encounter didn’t conclude there; it was revealed that the Rapido captain was also a software engineer with a shared enthusiasm for motorcycling.

Recounting his unique encounter, Nishit Patel took to the microblogging platform X to share the exceptional incident. He detailed how he had arranged a Rapido ride for his journey to a Kubernetes meetup.

What made the experience truly remarkable was not just the high-end motorcycle that arrived for the ride, but the fact that the Rapido captain himself turned out to be a DevOps engineer working at a company responsible for overseeing enterprise Kubernetes clusters. Evidently, this occurrence appeared to be just another ordinary day in India’s technology hub.

“You won’t believe the crazy Peak Bengaluru moment I had today! On my way to a Kubernetes meetup, my Rapido captain pulled up on a Royal Enfield Hunter. Turns out he’s a DevOps engineer at a company managing enterprise Kubernetes clusters. Just another day in India’s tech capital,” he wrote.
