Mumbai company's ‘No South candidate' job posting leaves internet in disbelief
An X user shared a screenshot claiming that it is of a job posting that specifies preference for candidates on the basis of where they are from. As per the visual shared on the social media platform, the job posting says 'No South candidates'. It also says that the job is only for 'Male candidates'.
'No South candidates. Check out the reply in the second picture,' the X user wrote. The first screenshot shows a job posting looking for two techies for an office located in Mumbai's Vikhroli. It specifies that the company is looking for candidates who have minimum 2 years of experience, can join immediately, and can work from office. It also says that the job is only for 'Male candidates' and specifies 'No south candidates.'
It also lists the requirements that the organisation is looking for in the candidates. 'If you meet the requirements and are ready to contribute to our team, we'd like to hear from you,' reads the concluding lines of the post. HT.com has reached out to the company, this report will be updated on receiving a reply.
The X user also shared a response from an individual claiming he called out the company for its alleged job posting.
As per the visual posted by the X user, the candidate slammed the company for the job posting. 'As I can see, there's a point in the email saying 'No South candidates'. We South Indians are not like dogs like you people, who join North Indian companies as if you're working for your own family businesses,' read a part of the email. It then went on to slam North Indians. The sender signed off the email with his name, followed by 'Pan India'.
An individual wrote, 'Didn't your people migrate to other states? Hypocrisy.' Another posted, 'Did you get a response? Curious to know why there is discrimination in a tech job.'
A third asked, 'Does the 'No South candidate' mean South Mumbai instead of South India?' A fourth expressed, 'I'm not from the South, but this is stupidity at its peak. The person is more into politics rather than running a company.'

Bengaluru entrepreneur's claim on Mumbai auto driver sparks awe, disbelief: ‘Earns ₹5–8 lakh a month without driving'
A post by a Bengaluru entrepreneur about an auto driver outside the US Consulate in Mumbai has ignited a heated discussion on LinkedIn. Rahul Rupani, who co-founded VenueMonk, claimed that the auto driver earns between ₹5 to 8 lakh per month without driving and by offering a simple service. 'I was outside the US Consulate this week for my visa appointment, when security told me I couldn't carry my bag inside. No lockers. No suggestions. Just: 'Figure it out.' While I stood clueless on the footpath, an auto driver waved at me: 'Sir, bag de do. Safe rakhunga, mera roz ka hai. ₹1,000 charge hai.' I hesitated. Then gave in. And that's when I discovered this guy's brilliant business,' Rupani wrote. Rupani then explained how the man works, adding that the driver 'partnered with a local police officer who owns a small locker space nearby.' He keeps all the bags he collects from consulate visitors in that locker. 'And while most people are sweating over US visa interviews, this guy is running a zero-mile, hyper-profitable, bootstrapped operation. No MBA. No startup jargon. Just pure hustle and street-smart product-market fit,' he continued. He further labelled the auto driver as a 'real entrepreneur'. is unable to independently verify the claims presented. A request for comment has been made to Rahul Rupani, and this report will be updated upon receiving a response. While some appreciated Rupani sharing the post, others expressed doubts and questions. An individual posted, 'That's not his income alone. He has to share with multiple people, including police. Otherwise, what stops other auto wallahs from doing the same at a lower price? Also, I guess they don't know that there is a locker facility inside the consulate at a charge of ₹500.' Another added, 'This is a perfect example of smart work and its effective execution. Despite not actively driving the auto or other efforts, people trustingly leave their bags and belongings with him, feeling assured of their safety. Convincing strangers and earning their trust is no small feat. It's really impressive. Wow!' A third remarked, 'Hope you realize what BS you are peddling in the name of hustle. This whole operation is wrong at so many levels… Legally… ethically… that it's not even funny as an anecdote. It's literally making/fleecing money by exploiting someone's misery. And if you feel this is a great inspirational story for Indian entrepreneurs, God save the start-up culture in India.' A fourth wrote, 'And you're saying such a big (unethical, but anyway) opportunity exists, and there's just this one guy exploiting it?' A few slammed the post as a 'Fake story.'
