Rupa Chowdhury Becomes Kolkata's First Food Delivery Girl

Rupa Chowdhury has become Kolkata's first food delivery girl but she had to overcome a plethora of challenges to accomplish this.

Her parents and her sister expired a few years ago. Her marriage is on the rocks. Her husband currently stays at Barasat which is approximately 30 kms from Kolkata. They haven't been divorced yet. To make the matters worse, her only son lives with her husband.

Rupa decided not to be bogged down by these adversities and gathered the courage to become the first woman to enter the food delivery business. She is also an ardent believer of the fact that her step will inspire the company to employ more women from Kolkata.

Rupa was also the first woman in Kolkata who joined Ola as a bike taxi rider back in February. There is more, she recently joined the bike-taxi app Rapido as another driver.
