When Aditya Sharma, a resident of Rajasthan, ordered food from Zomato, he noticed something heartbreaking. His delivery person arrived on a bicycle at his house when the temperature outside was around 42 °C. Despite the difficult circumstances, his order was delivered on time.

He took a photo of the delivery person and shared his story on Twitter.

Sharma identified the individual as Durga Meena, 31, who began working as a delivery executive due to financial difficulties.

Meena gets Rs 10,000 each month, according to a follow-up tweet, but he has also been teaching for the past 12 years. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and wishes to continue his education. He started working for Zomato to make ends meet.

The outpouring of support from the public was astounding. In under 24 hours, the funds for the bike were raised.
