I’m currently in Bangalore after traveling in Uttarakhand. I ran out of money there and had planned to work in a cafe or seasonal place, but since it’s off-season they weren’t hiring.

Now I’m back in Bangalore with around ₹4,000 left. My goal is to make ₹30,000 before May 10 so I can complete my Kedarnath Yatra, visit a few more places, and buy some basic clothes + a new bag.

I’m open to:

Any temporary / daily wage / part-time work

Honest business ideas I can start quickly

I’m also willing to invest around ₹3,000 into something that can generate returns

If anyone in Bangalore knows any work opportunities, contacts, or realistic plans, please let me know. Serious suggestions only please. Thanks.

Also pls don't suggest delivery work like Swiggy, zepto etc because I'm already physically exhausted and also I'm sleeping at the railway station.

​

I ordered food on Swiggy for delivery to my train at a station. I placed the order assuming the app would track the train delay and adjust timing, but my train got delayed badly and I’m still around 90 km away.

The delivery partner has already reached the station and told me he may wait around an hour for my train to arrive.

I’m genuinely curious about the economics of this job:

- Wouldn’t waiting one hour reduce his chances of hitting incentives?

- Is completing one train delivery worth more than multiple local orders?

- Do cancellations hurt delivery partners more than lost time?

- Do apps compensate riders for waiting time in cases like this?

If anyone works with Swiggy/Zomato or knows how these incentives work, I’d love to understand why waiting would make sense financially.

Not complaining about the rider at all — just trying to understand how the system works.
