A seemingly routine food delivery turned into an unforgettable moment when Trusha Daware, co-founder of Pink Shore Entertainment, shared a heartfelt post on LinkedIn about a Zomato delivery partner named Akshay—who showed up at her door with his five-year-old son.
A delivery with a deeper message
In her viral post, Daware wrote:“It was a quiet evening when Akshay from Zomato arrived at my doorstep with my dinner. But what caught me off guard wasn’t just the food—it was the sight of a little boy, probably no older than five, standing beside him.”Surprised, she asked why the child was with him. Akshay responded:“Meri baiko kaam pe chali gayi aur mera baccha aakela tha gharpe. Toh maine socha, usko apne saath le aata hoon.”
["My wife had gone to work, and my child was alone at home. So I thought I'd bring him along."]
Daware reflected on the actions in her post by saying:“Akshay wasn’t just delivering food; he was showing his son what it means to step up and support the family in every way possible.”
Zomato’s reply and public support
Zomato took notice of her post by writing the following reply:“Hi Trusha, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are proud of our delivery universe. Kindly help us with more details like your order ID so we can express appreciation to our delivery partner.”The post prompted an outpouring of public appreciation by different users:“Congratulations Trusha Daware! Bringing such things across makes a big impact on delivery boys’ lives… Hope Zomato rewards him.” “This story really brought a smile to my face. Heartwarming.”"Not all superheroes wear capes some wear red tees and carry their world on a scooter."
A reminder behind every delivery
Akshay’s quiet commitment to his job and his family was moving to many people. His simple act of bringing his son along wasn’t just practical—it was purposeful. His story serves as a powerful reminder that behind every doorstep delivery lies a life, a family, and often, a lesson in resilience and humanity.
