A leopard sighting on the Infosys campus in Mysuru on December 31 led to tightened security and a work-from-home advisory for employees. After being captured for the third time using a thermal drone on Wednesday, the incident became the talk of social media. The wild visitor didn’t just disrupt daily operations—it also sparked a meme fest, with users' sharp commentary on workplace culture. Many of the jokes took a jab at Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s recent remark that young Indians should put in “70 hours a week” to help the country compete globally. The mix of wildlife and work ethic made for a perfect recipe for online wit.

The big cat may have been sheltering in a quiet corner of the campus, far from workplaces and residential areas, or entering the premises occasionally through the stormwater outlet to rest. The report also said that a dedicated Leopard Task Force team is stationed on the campus to ensure both the safety of employees and the eventual rescue of the animal.
