This guy is Yogesh.

It is amazing to see small time owners get a chance to thrive by the power of social media. It has definitely become a part and parcel of our lives, helping us make a living by selling out things that resonate with the public.
Twitterati was also impressed with Zomato’s quick response and willingness to help a fellow human being.
Here’s how some of the users reacted to Zomato’s reply.
@zomato is proving out to be an organisation with a heart. Standing for the downtrodden. U guys stood by #Kamaraj and now facilitating this vendor. True eg if #AtmaNirbharBharat

Some other users also mentioned how Yogesh baffles them with his variety and genuinessness in taste. His litti chokhas can definitely not be compared with other sellers!
