A Swiggy delivery partner from Faridabad has become a crorepati after he started writing for Pocket FM.
Ajit Kumar had to abandon his medical studies because of lack of funds when the lockdown disrupted his family’s livelihood. He began delivering food on his bicycle, working 16-hour days and cycling nearly 100 kilometers on some days to complete 20 orders.
Then, tragedy struck: An accident left him with multiple fractures and he was confined to bed. The clock was ticking - loans (taken for his sister’s wedding) were due for repayment.
He lay in bed depressed while searching for WFH jobs. He came across a writer position advertisement for Pocket FM.
He was determined: On some days, he wrote 4 or 5 episodes from his bed.
