How do netizens react?

Social media users responded to the video with a mix of amusement and concern. Some speculated about the intense work pressure that might drive such behavior, suggesting that the individual could be striving to meet demanding work-hour quotas.

Others expressed empathy, acknowledging the pressures faced by many in today's fast-paced work environment. Meanwhile, some users humorously remarked on the unconventional use of company-issued laptops and the inventive ways people adapt to their work demands.

Bengaluru is not for beginners

This incident isn't the first of its kind in Bengaluru. Last year, a similar video surfaced, which showcased a woman working on her laptop while riding a pillion on a motorcycle. The clip, captioned "Tell me you are in Bangalore without telling me you are in Bangalore," exemplifies the city's unique work ethos, where professionals often find themselves multitasking even in transit.

While the woman in the previous incident was seen balancing her laptop on the bike seat, situated between herself and the rider, this latest incident underscores the lengths to which individuals in Bengaluru go to manage their work commitments, even at the risk of compromising their safety.
