Tamil Nadu witnessed heavy rains last week and a depression over Bay of Bengal crossed the coast on November 11.
A fruit and vegetable supply start-up has deployed paddle boards in Chennai to reach out to customers in low-lying areas, flooded due to heavy rains over the week.
The start-up, called Gourmet Garden, has come as a relief for residents during the rainy season. P Saranraj, who lives in Pallikaranai, an area where an overflowing lake had made the area unaccessible said,
"I was thrilled. We got our vegetable. Other platforms had suspended services."
Anjali George, an engineer-turned-marketing professional in the Velacherry neighbourhood was surprised to receive the delivery. She said that she was unaware that the delivery would made even after heavy rains.
