Bengaluru-based software engineer Roopesh Kumar Verma has become internet sensation after he rode a horse to work on his last day.

This was his way of protesting against the traffic mess in the city while making his last day memorable

The pictures of Verma riding a white horse wearing formals and carrying a laptop has taken internet by storm.

"I am from a middle-class family. This kind of social media attention is hard to digest. I never expected this," he told News18

"I have been staying in Bengaluru for the past eight years and I am fed up of the bottlenecks and air pollution. Bengaluru is overcrowded and too many vehicles on the road lead to traffic jams every day. In fact, I learnt horse riding because of the traffic headache."

Hailing from Rajasthan, he wishes to set up his own company.

"I have concerns for my country. Most of the techies are working for MNCs, making them rich. Instead of that, like-minded software engineers should gather and start their own venture," he said.

"There are multiple reasons to quit this field. I may continue to stay in the technical field but will never work for MNC," he added.
