The customer gets updates while the order is readied and he is able to track real-time as it gets delivered to destination, he said, adding payment is being through PayTM wallet or cash on delivery.
"Since the government can't provide jobs to everyone. Therefore I came up with my own venture, where I don't need to run after government jobs but rather can provide jobs to many," he said.
He said currently our services are available in Srinagar district only but we are planning to expand it to other towns as well.
