Delivery partners’ day starts with a garama garam chai in the morning and ends with a tired body but not a tired spirit. They wake up the next morning and start delivering again. They pick the stuff from shops, restaurants, stores and other business outlets and deliver the same to their customers. Absolutely incredible these people are! Not everyone can manage that Din Bhar Ka Sangarsh.
So, if you want to be a delivery partner, enjoy this Sangarsh with a smile.

Communicating with Customers is Vital
