Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal shared an inspiring story on X about an employee who once worked as a delivery agent at Blinkit and is now set to join Zomato's design team. The post has sparked widespread appreciation online, with users praising the student's determination and the opportunities created by the food-tech ecosystem.
In a LinkedIn message to Goyal, the employee, Atharv Singh, shared that he had to fund his own education and living expenses during college without his father's support. "There was a time when I was not able to earn anything and life was still asking for more," he wrote.
Atharv said his situation changed after he saw an Instagram advertisement about Blinkit hiring. He joined a nearby dark store as a picker and worked there for four months. "Life just kept getting better ever since," he added.
Atharv, who studied design in college while working for Blinkit, is now preparing to join Zomato's design team, calling the opportunity "a full-circle moment."
Goyal responded to the message saying, "Thanks for sharing your story. Lit me up." Sharing it on X, he added, "Stories like this make all of it absolutely worth it."
