Hyderabad, January 3
A Zomato delivery boy gained the attention in the social media riding a horse to deliver orders in Hyderabad.
It was necessitated following fuel shortage due to truckers strike that was in fact called off on Tuesday night. Earlier in the day, the Zomato boy swapped his two-wheeler for a trusty horse, apparently to compensate the city’s recent fuel shortage.
In a video uploaded by X (Twitter) user ‘Arbaaz The Great’, the boy can be seen clad in the signature red Zomato uniform with a delivery bag on his shoulders, expertly trotting down a busy street atop a horse. The video’s description suggests he resorted to this unconventional delivery method due to long queues at petrol pumps, caused by anxieties over a potential fuel shortage in Hyderabad.
“Due To Closure of petrol pumps in Hyderabad, a Zomato Delivery boy came out to deliver food on horse at Chanchalgudaa near to imperial hotel,” the X post said.
The netizens praised the rider’s resourcefulness and adaptability, while others jokingly questioned the impact on delivery times. Some called it a “peak Hyderabad” moment.
As the video went viral, Zomato has not yet commented on the episode. While reacting to the post, the X users urged to pay extra money to the boy for his dedication. One of the users quipped, “modern mushkil ko puranee solutions.”
Another added: “Hope the food package survived the bumpy ride. But a very interesting choice of horse power though.”
