Unacademy CEO Gaurav Munjal, his family and pet rescued in tractor from flooded society in Bengaluru
Many IT employees in the city have been driving to their swanky offices in tractors over the last few days because no other mode of transportation can navigate the city’s flooded streets. Unacademy CEO Gaurav Munjal was also subjected to the wrath of the rain gods.
Torrential rains in Bengaluru have turned the city’s residents’ lives into a living nightmare. Clogged roads and tractors on the road ferrying people have become common sights in the East’s “Silicon Valley.” The rain has not only disrupted people’s daily lives in Bengaluru, but it has also claimed lives.
Many IT employees in the city have been driving to their swanky offices in tractors over the last few days because no other mode of transportation can navigate the city’s flooded streets. Unacademy CEO Gaurav Munjal was also subjected to the wrath of the rain gods.
Munjal, the founder of Unacademy, had to use a tractor to save his pet and family members from a submerged society. Tractors, which were once an unwelcome sight in a city like Bengaluru, are now proving to be quite useful. Munjal shared a video of his pet Albus in a tractor and wrote, “My family and my pet Albus were evacuated on a tractor from our now-submerged society. Things aren’t looking good. Please be cautious. If you need assistance, please DM me and I will do my best to assist you.”
Munjal’s pet, Albus, a Shihtzu, can be seen barking at the camera in the video. The dog is sitting on a tractor, surrounded by rescuers and family members. Munjal shot the video from another vehicle. Munjal described the current situation as “bad” and urged people to exercise caution. He even offered to assist people who are trapped in the city, which is currently under water.

Twitter users had mixed reactions to his video. While some could not stop commenting about how cute his dog looks, many got scared to see such an influential person in such a pitiable condition. “Munjal Sir, if this is your condition then what will happen to the general public, please move your HQ to Jaipur,” a Twitter user wrote.
On September 5, a deluge of IT employees in Bengaluru commuted using tractors to the office because they could not afford to take leave. Sharing her plight, a female employee working in an IT firm told ANI, “We cannot take so many leaves from the office, our work is being affected. We are awaiting tractors to drop us for Rs 50.
