Ganesh's story was shared last month on Twitter by IPS officer Dipanshu Kabra who also revealed that Ganesh is India's wheelchair food delivery partner. His two-in-one wheelchair, developed by a start-up at IIT Madras, has been motorised for easy conveyance. The bike also has a feature where with the press of a button it detaches and converts into a simple wheelchair.

After Gabesh's story touched netizens' hearts, now this video has made many users teary-eyed. Instagram users also praised Zomato for giving a job to a specially-abled person. One user commented, "A salute to service of Zomato for giving the job for differently abled," while another said, "couldn't hold back my tears." 

For the unversed, 6 years ago Ganesh Murugan had suffered a major spinal cord injury. Ganesh was in an accident and was hit by a truck which left him partially paralyzed. However, the life-changing accident only increased his zest for life and now Ganesh's story is an inspiration to all.
