A Bengaluru intern quit his tech firm internship after securing funding for his own AI startup.
Karthik Sridharan, CEO of Flexiple, shared the news on X with a screenshot of their WhatsApp chat, where the intern casually mentioned his meeting with a venture capitalist and that he no longer needed the internship.
The post went viral, sparking mixed reactions. While some praised the intern's entrepreneurial spirit, others criticized his abrupt departure as unprofessional. One user commented on the importance of communication skills, while another defended the intern, suggesting the chat might have been casual between colleagues.
