Aditya Sharma

The Rajasthan-based teen wins for raising funds online to buy a bike for a food delivery agent

People order food pretty much every single day, but how many of them take the time to stop and talk to the delivery agents, or even offer them a glass of water? Even though much has already been said about how most food delivery agents work supremely long days trying to make a living, it’s still a hard life.

When 18-year-old Aditya Sharma, a grade12 student who lives in Rajasthan, ordered lunch, it was just another day. However, he was stunned when he realised that the man delivering his food was using a bicycle to travel, in 42-degree heat.

He took the time to enquire why he was using a bicycle and the 31-yearold delivery agent, Durga Meena, told Aditya that he wanted a bike, but could not afford one yet and was trying to save money to get one.
