Bengaluru Man Quits Rs 25 LPA Job, Becomes Food Delivery Rider For This Reason

Bengaluru Man Viral Post: Imagine scrolling through your feed and stumbling on a story that sounds completely mad at first… until you hear the twist. A guy earning over Rs 25 lakh a year in a comfy corporate job suddenly quit everything. He threw on a delivery bag and started riding for Swiggy and Rapido. His parents were in tears, literally crying on the phone to his friends, begging someone to "talk sense into him." Wedding fixed next year, brand-new car on EMI, and now this? Everyone thought he had lost it.

But here’s the real reason, and it’s actually brilliant. He moved to an area packed with college students and young office workers. He’s planning to open his own cloud kitchen in the next 6 months, but before spending a single rupee on rent or equipment, he wanted rock-solid data on what people actually order again and again. So he became a delivery boy himself. Every evening he was noting down: Which biryani disappears fastest? Which rolls get 5-star ratings? Which items do people order even at 2 a.m.? In no time, he shortlisted 12 killer dishes that cost little to make but fly out in huge numbers.

His calculations say the cloud kitchen can turn profitable in just 3-4 months. Still, almost nobody believes in him. "His parents are still against it. And apparently, many of his friends have made fun of his decision." Even the watchmen yelled at him for using the lift with the delivery bag. He faced embarrassment almost daily. But the man hasn’t budged an inch. His friend who shared the story wrote, "He is still going through with it, and I support him 100%. I just hope it pans out well for him."

A friend of mine left his 25 lpa+ job to become a Swiggy / Rapido driver. And no I'm not joking.

His parents called me asking me to talk sense into him, crying literally. He was going to get married next year. And just bought a car.

I spoke with him, and the reason shocked me.…

"This is entrepreneurship, not recklessness - but one question: With ₹25L salary, why not test the cloud kitchen model on weekends while keeping job security? 3-4 months is a tight runway for ₹5-10L capex. Did he have backup capital or co-founder support to absorb losses?" asked a third user. "Bold decision. But it sounds like he's done his research. Let us hope he succeeds," added a fourth user.
