Salil was a hotel management graduate who worked in the hotel industry for 15 years. Salil was working as a Hotel Manager and was earning 40-50k/month. After COVID-lockdown took away his job, Salil joined Zomato as a food delivery executive to make ends meet.
According to an Indian Express report, Salil's family confirmed that he would work for 7-8 hours daily delivering food. He earned Rs 8,000-Rs 10,000 a month, a remuneration based on the number of orders and not the hours.
Salil is survived by his wife Sucheta and their 10-year-old son. As soon as the news of Salil's death spread on Social Media, there were several who came out to help his family.
