Rajasthan man delivers Blinkit order on horseback, video goes viral
India Today
An elderly delivery man in Rajasthan was spotted riding a horse while carrying out Blinkit deliveries. The now-viral video left social media users amused.
An elderly delivery man riding a horse along a highway in Rajasthan has become the unlikely face of viral internet humour after a video of him carrying a Blinkit delivery bag on horseback began circulating online.
The clip, shared by content creator Kapil Bishnoi on X, shows the man steadily trotting along the roadside on a black horse while wearing Blinkit’s signature bright yellow backpack.
With highway signboards and open land visible in the background, the scene looks like something straight out of rural Rajasthan, except for the unmistakably modern delivery gear strapped to his back.
Captioning the post, Bishnoi wrote, “This is Rajasthan! The youth aren’t even getting the chance to ride a mare, and the old men are doing online deliveries on horses.”
In the nine-second clip, the rider appears composed and focused, guiding the horse along the edge of the paved road. There is no rush or chaos, just the rhythmic movement of the horse’s hooves against the backdrop of a modern highway.
