‘Startups for rayaison and alsiyo’: Meet Carrymen, 'Delhi’s newest show‑off' trained to haul bags, luggage — even kids
A Delhi startup called Carrymen, which sends a trained person to carry your shopping bags, luggage — and even help with your baby — while you shop hands-free, is going viral after finance creator Bhanu Pathak's post.
Delhi's newest startup, Carrymen, is making waves after finance creator and influencer Bhanu Pathak shared a post about the service that lets shoppers hire trained individuals to carry their bags, luggage, and even kids while navigating crowded markets. The idea has sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising the convenience and others criticizing the potential exploitation of labor.
The startup, founded by Ritu Kandari Srivastava and Kanishka Malhotra, offers male and female assistants in markets like Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, and Old Delhi for hourly bookings starting at ₹79 for 30 minutes. The service has been well-received by customers who find it helpful, but it has also raised concerns about the treatment of these assistants and their working conditions.
