A Swiggy delivery person became really popular on social media because he did something extra special. A Kolkata journalist, Tamal Saha, who didn’t know the city well, made a mistake ordering food late on a Sunday night. Because of the wrong information, the delivery person, Mohammad Azam, had a hard time finding the exact place to deliver the food. Tamal Saha shared on an X platform how he made a mistake with the delivery location in Hyderabad. Even though it was 3 am, the delivery person went 12 km extra to give him the food. Since the story was shared, it’s become really popular on the Internet.
He mentioned, “Came back to the hotel very late after a long day. All restaurants were shut so ordered food on Swiggy. Since I don’t know much about Hyderabad, the location went wrong. But the delivery agent took all the trouble, rode 12 km to find me and delivered the food, now at 3 am. I had told him over the phone ‘Bhaiya subah se kuch nahi khaya (Brother, I haven’t had any food since this morning.)’ He came and told me ‘apne kuch nahi khaya hai kaha, kisiko bhuka rakhna insaniyat nahi hai, isiliye aya (You haven’t eaten anything since morning, and it’s not good to keep someone hungry.)’ A big shout-out to the agent. His name is Mohammad Azam.”

And also added, “He reinstated my faith in humanity, that there are good human beings alive. He is camera shy but he won my heart. It will remain my best memory of my Telengana diary. While leaving Azam smiled and said ‘goodnight’. I asked him when will he call it a night, and he said ‘Abhi ghar jaunga fir khaunga (Now I will go home and eat.)’ I offered to share our food, but he refused and said ‘Aap buss mujhe dua-o mein yaad rakhna (Just remember me in your prayers.)’ I pray for him and hope he stays the same forever.”
