A Bengaluru startup employee was found passed out and choking on his own vomit at a bar while his team partied.
Caleb Friesen shared on Twitter, “Reminder to the “work hard, party harder” startup founders out there: no party is worth losing an employee. Spotted a young man from a prominent Bengaluru startup choking on his own vomit tonight, face up, alone in a bar, while his team partied.”

“Was sitting on an upper floor with my wife when I noticed him convulsing. Rushed down to the dance floor. Luckily he had already fallen off the couch and was breathing again”, the tweet said.
“Called some of his team to take care of him and said, “Someone needs to keep an eye on him at all times”, Caleb Friesen’s tweet added.
Caleb Friesen’s tweet further said, “The attitude was, “Bro, what a party animal, he’s wasted!” By the time I had walked back up the stairs to my table, they had moved him to a more secluded spot, away from the dance floor. He was puking again. Ran back downstairs and explained the severity of the situation.”
“Was able to find team members who were sober and responsible enough to realise he was blackout drunk and likely had alcohol poisoning. Moral of the story for founders: always send a supervisor who won’t be drinking, to keep an eye on the group and make sure everyone is safe!”, the tweet concluded.
Repling to his post another user wrote, “Read a comic about the ghost of a guy who choked on his own vomit and passed away. I was pretty surprised at the storyline but I realise that it might be more common than we’re willing to accept and that it is essential for us to keep our safety in mind when we go out to drinkz”
