We were standing near Bandhan Bank, waiting to gather stories from delivery riders, when we coincidentally met Bandhan Debanat, a 30-year-old delivery rider from Tripura. Bandhan studied in Tripura until the 12th grade and played cricket at the state level. However, after his father suffered a stroke and passed away, Bandhan had to abandon his studies and cricket aspirations to support his family financially. In 2013, he moved to Bangalore. Bandhan began his career as a security guard at a famous mall in Bangalore, where he worked for two years. He left due to the verbally abusive environment, despite his dedication and long hours. Searching for a new direction, Bandhan joined Accenture as a driver. This job came with its own set of challenges, particularly the high risk and stress associated with driving the company car and navigating Bangalore's heavy traffic. Fearing any mistakes that could jeopardize his position, he eventually decided to leave this role as well. Determined to be his own boss, Bandhan joined Swiggy as a delivery rider. He bought a bike, underwent three days of training provided by the company, and started his new career. Over a year has passed, and he is now steadily working and saving for his future business plans. When asked about his future goals, Bandhan shared that he aims to return to Tripura within a year to open a kids' clothing shop. He plans to source materials from West Bengal, Delhi, and Mumbai, and manage the shop with his wife. Although Bandhan wishes to play cricket again, his current schedule restricts him from pursuing this passion. Yet, his story is one of hope and the strength it takes to navigate life's unpredictable paths. #risersofindia #staffingsolutions #hiring
