The food-delivery giant Zomato gifted an electric-vehicle to its differently-abled delivery person and has won over Twitterati and some celebrities after the thoughtful gesture. A video of Ramu Sahu, Zomato’s delivery man, went viral a few days back, in which he was delivering the food using a hand-powered tricycle. This had left many inspired. Zomato has now presented him with the vehicle to help him with his daily work. Deepinder Goyal, the food aggregating application’s founder, has shared the news and videos of Ramu Sahu in a series of tweets. He also said that the person has “gracefully accepted” the vehicle that Zomato was keen on giving.
