Swiggy delivery agent makes deliveries with his toddler.

A LinkedIn post features a Swiggy delivery partner, Pankaj, who has drawn massive attention online after a Gurugram-based CEO, Mayank Agarwal, shared a moving account of finding him at the gate with his toddler daughter, Tun Tun, ‘barely 2 years old,’ seated on his bike. Agarwal initially asked him to come upstairs but changed his mind after overhearing a child’s voice in the background during their call. Upon meeting him, he learnt that Pankaj brings his daughter along during deliveries because he has no one to look after her. Her elder brother attends evening classes, and their mother passed away during childbirth. He even shared that some customers told him, “Sit at home if you can’t manage—having a toddler is your problem.” Agarwal, however, noted, “But he had no complaints—only a quiet smile.”

Netizens react to the viral post.

One user wrote, “This is deeply moving. A little institutional empathy can go a long way in changing lives. I’ve been privy to both sides of this world where delivery partners act extremely unprofessionally and some genuine gems that actually deserve a lot more than what they are entitled to, it’s a hard ship to navigate.” Another wrote, “Women have been doing this for ages without any post dedicated to them…kudos to this man and the millions of women who do this day in and day out without featuring anywhere!” A third user commented, “I have seen the same with house helps. Sad part is not everyone treats them with the dignity they deserve. In many ways, they are better than most of us. Governments, and we as a society at large, have failed them.”
