Food delivery executives are often seen rushing through heavy rain - morning, noon or night - to deliver orders to customers, and videos of them frequently go viral. Another such video has emerged online this week - a Swiggy delivery executive sitting helplessly on his motorcycle in pouring rain, presumably on his way to filling a customer's order.
He doesn't have a helmet or a raincoat and it is raining heavily while he waits, getting soaked and risking his health, on a motorcycle. The video was shared by IPS officer Dipanshu Kabra.
Sharing the video, the officer wrote: "Unfortunately, in Swiggy only 5 stars can be given. Crores of stars are also less for such a conscientious and hardworking employee."
