“Jab se ki hain graduation, toot chuki hain motivation, job exploration mein bhi aa chuki hain saturation… yaar, sone nahin deti client ki woh escalation!” No, these lyrics aren’t from a slice-of-life Bollywood movie; this is the creative outburst of employees of a Gurugram-based consulting firm.
The viral video, titled Corporate Majboori, shows the employees rap about the Millennium City’s stressful work situations.
The tortured techie, in real life, is Akshay Kumar, an associate QA Lead with the company, who has rapped and composed the video.
This hilarious video opens with a stressed out techie getting an angry client’s message: ‘Tumse Na Ho Paayega!!’ In the next scene, two ‘henchmen’, or maybe ‘henchpersons’, since one is a woman, walk menacingly down the corridor before hauling this hapless techie out, and presenting him to the management all tied up. A stern manager declares, “Error 404 ke tahet, isko project se nikala diya jaata hain…Ise GP 28 ki kothri mein band kiya jaaye.”
This spoof, made with 15 employees over a period of about three weeks, was shot and edited outside of work hours and on weekends.
