“Bengaluru is the only city where your landlord also becomes a technical advisor for your startup. My landlord (Solutions Architect at Intel) loved our product and gives us introductions to companies/advises us on our architecture while meeting us in cafes, he wrote in the post.

Vetri Venthan's post caught the attention of popular X-handle Peak Bengaluru, leading to a wave of hilarious reactions in the comments. One user humorously suggested that Vetri ask his landlord to waive the high security deposit.
“Ask him to waive the 11-month deposit, call it an investment and give him sweat equity,” the user joked. In response, Vetri said, “Lol, that will be my next question on the next catch up.”
