A Bengaluru entrepreneur spent nine years working as a delivery agent for an app-based food delivery company before building a business of his own. During that period, Koushik Kharvi worked with Swiggy and said he would sometimes hide from friends while making deliveries because he feared how they might perceive his job.
Kharvi revisited that phase of his life in an Instagram post after Google Photos resurfaced memories from those years. A reel shared on his account shows his transition from delivering food for Swiggy to building his own seafood business, which he identifies as a Fish Food Truck and "The Konkan Kitchen".
‘More than hard work, I was always afraid’
Looking back, Kharvi said the difficult part was not the physical demands of delivery work but the concern over how acquaintances might view him.
"More than hard work, I was always afraid of people seeing me as a delivery guy," he wrote.
