Daware was caught off guard when her food delivery agent did not just have her food but also a nearly five-year-old child standing next to him.

“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. I couldn't help but stare, a bit confused, as I took the delivery from Akshay,” said Daware in her post.

As confusion and curiosity took over, Trusha Daware asked Akshay why his son had been accompanying him for order delivery late in the evening.

“Curious, I gently asked him, Why is your son with you so late, helping with the delivery?” asked the social media user.

Akshay smiled after hearing the question and responded that he decided to bring the child along with him while he delivered the orders to people around the city because his wife was working late.

“Meri baiko kaam pe chali gayi aur mera baccha aakela tha gharpe. Toh maine socha, usko apne saath le aata hoon.” said Akshay, highlighting that his child would be home alone as both he and his wife are working outside.

The 'full weight of his words' was a lesson for Daware, who decided to share a social media post about the incident, which moved her deeply.

Taking away the lessons of how love, partnership, and support can come together through a simple gesture of a man who did not let his child be alone, Daware highlighted the importance of a family which supports each other in times of hardship.

“Akshay wasn't just delivering food ; he was showing his son what it truly means to step up and support the family in every way possible. In that moment, I realized how beautiful it is to witness a man not just being a partner but a pillar of support-helping his wife when she needs to work late, and ensuring their child isn't left alone at home,” said Daware in her LinkedIn post.

Zomato's Response
