“The panic and fear in Kolkata hasn’t been great for delivery partners here. Not all police personnel are aware that delivery partners are a part of the essential forces. So during the initial days of the lockdown, we were not able to deliver too many orders. But, precautions like sanitizers, gloves and masks are making it safer for us to deliver. And now, with the new lockdown pass in place, a lot of the earlier misunderstandings with authorities have been resolved. I am happy to be helping others in times like these by delivering food.”

“I feel immense pleasure in delivering food to people everywhere. I am happy that even during these tough times, I have a livelihood thanks to Swiggy. However, we have been getting fewer orders, because of which it is getting tougher and tougher to manage weekly expenses. I hope everything goes back to normal soon.”

“Now more than ever before, I am glad to be a part of Swiggy. It is one of the few organisations that hasn’t shut its doors on its delivery partners. Right now, I am the only family member who is still able to contribute financially to the household. People who are ordering food right now are people who genuinely need food and can’t get it any other way. I can’t appreciate Swiggy’s efforts enough.”
