Employee Walks Out Of Delhi Startup Before Lunch, Tells HR ‘He Cannot Work There'
Last Updated: The incident took place at a Delhi-based startup where the man joined duty in the morning but decided to quit during his lunch break. An Indian employee recently caught everyone's attention and sparked a work culture debate after leaving his job on the very first day. The incident took place at a Delhi-based startup where the man joined duty in the morning but decided to quit during his lunch break. Without informing anyone, he walked out of the office and left his laptop on the desk. When the company noticed his absence, they tried calling him several times. At first, he did not answer, but later explained to the HR team that he did not wish to continue working at the company. Employee Quits Job On First Day: Taking to X (Formerly Twitter), an individual shared, 'A friend told me about this guy who joined a startup here in Delhi. On his very first day, he left his laptop on his desk during lunch and just never came back. He ignored everyone's calls initially but later picked up HR's, and just said he cannot work there." A friend told me about this guy who joined a startup here in Delhi. On his very first day, he left his laptop on his desk during lunch and just never came back. He ignored everyone's calls initially but later picked up HR's, and just said he cannot work there 😭— Poan Sapdi (@Poan__Sapdi) August 19, 2025 Another shared, 'That's wild but honestly not surprising. Startup culture can be overwhelming, and sometimes the fit just isn't right. It's important to trust your instincts about a workplace, even if it means walking away on day one. Have you ever felt that way about a job?" 'Respect to him for showing some spine," a comment read. An individual stated, 'I left one of my jobs in a week, texted them on WhatsApp after taking a 'leave" for two days and then ghosted them." Another mentioned, 'Everyone should have the courage to protect their mental peace." One more added, 'Happens a lot. Secretly, a lot of people plan it – few execute it. I had a guy join with me, quite young and jolly and after lunch, he disappeared. The laptop just sat there. Didn't turn up the next day and found from HR that he left." While the post resonated with many, the viral post did not mention the exact reason why the employee chose to quit on the first day. view comments First Published: August 20, 2025, 14:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

MobiKwik CEO says he had less than ₹1 crore in savings till the age of 40
MobiKwik CEO Bipin Preet Singh has joined the chief executive of Sensibull in urging India's youth to focus on skill development rather than get-rich-quick schemes. Singh, a graduate of IIT Delhi, said that he had less than ₹1 crore in savings by the time he reached the age of 40 – but he did not let the fact bother him. In the end, it turned out okay. MobiKwik CEO Bipin Preet Singh is a graduate of IIT Delhi. Singh was responding to a post from Sensibull CEO Abid Hassan, who took to X this morning to slam influencers who trivialise ₹10 crore as an easily-achievable target. Hassan warned youngsters not to believe finance influencers promoting unrealistic financial goals. MobiKwik CEO's take on getting rich Responding to Hassan's post on unrealistic financial goals, Singh wrote: 'Well said! Young need to focus on impact and their calling in life the money will follow.' He spoke from personal experience. Singh said he had less than ₹1 crore until he reached the age of 40. 'Just FYI till the age of 40 my savings were less than ₹1 crore and its worked out fine. Yes do save and do the SIP but that should be your side show,' he posted on X. He added that young entrepreneurs should definitely save and invest through SIPs, but getting rich should not be their goal. A debate on net worth Abid Hassan had shared a similar take. He spoke out against the way new-age influencers casually talk about massive sums of money such as ₹10 crore or 20 crore, saying it creates unnecessary insecurity and fuels scammy financial products. The post had sparked a lively discussion on get-rich-quick courses and the FIRE dream (financial independence and retire early). 'Problem isn't 10–20 Cr being aspirational. The problem is influencers making it sound like pocket change to sell you dreams,' wrote one X user. 'Money isn't everything. Some of the happiest people I know earn modest incomes but have rich lives full of meaning,' another opined.
