A girl, in her 20s scooting around the Hyderabad city delivering food, is breaking social barriers by taking the unconventional job of a delivery woman to earn her livelihood and inspire others to get into this field.
Janani Rao, a Hyderabad resident works with online food ordering and delivery platform Swiggy as a delivery agent.
"It has been two and a half months since I joined the company. The job is interesting and it is fun. I get to meet a lot of customers who are interesting people. It is a different kind of experience if you think about it," she told ANI.
She says that customers appreciate her for doing this job.
"Customers' response has been very appreciative. They say it is very nice to see a woman in this field and doing things which are considered as a stigma in the society," Rao said.
Disapproving of social inhibtions around her job, she said that "a job is a job".
