Khan decided to share his inspiring story as he wrote and shared a picture of the smiling delivery man on LinkedIn.?"Just now I met a?Swiggy?delivery agent who was barefoot with me in the elevator.?I asked him why he wasn't wearing the shoes??He said he met with an accident today and had a swollen foot and ankle.?I responded "then you should be resting and not working.?
He smiled and said 'I have a family to feed.' He stepped out of the lift and said "Have a Good Evening Sir" It's people like him that inspire me to work hard and push myself when it's necessary. On a separate note, I hope Swiggy rewards and acknowledges the hard work of this man. #hardwork #inspiration #work #Swiggy #appreciation?#motivation?#respect."? ?
After sharing his story, Khan also urged people to help him?financially in whatever way they could. In his post, Khan pinned a comment saying, "Anyone who wants to help this man can inbox me and I can give you his paytm number. He is in need of help, and he told me to give his number to anyone who wants to help. Especially people who were concerned about his privacy and asking me if i took his permission. Also, those who were suggesting me to give him shoes etc. may come forward and show some generosity."?
Many people were keen to help the delivery guy out. A user commented, "If i was there i would have purchased him one pair of shoes." While another added, "If I were there, I would have paid for his day(based on my capabilities) and then posted here tagging #swiggy for any sort of reward/day off."
A user felt inspired by the story and wrote, "Indeed an inspiration! Similarly, every day I see Gaurd¡¯s in my society and college in their everyday and night hectic duty hours, still smiling and inspiring."
