New Delhi: The Internet has become a popular medium for connecting thousands of people in a short time. In the past, you may have witnessed a lot of stories that the internet helped people to meet their loved ones whom they lost years ago. In another incident, the Internet helped a Zomato delivery employee to buy a bike within 24 hours.

He got the bike with the support of crowdfunding via social media. The man has been identified as Durga Meena. The 31-year-old man was reportedly a teacher but lost his job due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sharma opted for joining Zoamto to earn money. However, he started delivering food on a bicycle due to the unavailability of a bike.

However, Durga Meena’s life changed when he met Aditya Sharma On April 11 while delivering Sharma’s order. Sharma shared his story online and launched a crowdfunding campaign for Meena on Twitter.
