Swiggy Bengaluru’s assistant vice president (AVP) of design shared an interesting incident about a young professional who sent a job application letter by post. The young job seeker immediately caught his attention as these days no one puts in so much effort to send a physical letter.
Swiggy Executive shares incident on X
Saptarshi Prakash wrote on the X platform, "Received a physical letter from a designer wanting to join Swiggy with a concept," sharing pictures of the letter. "Now, this isn't the first time someone has approached me, but it's the first time through a physical letter sent via India Post! In a world where emails and DMs are the go-to methods, this person decided to go old-school to stand out. And you know what? It worked."

In the letter, the applicant pitched a concept he developed that could benefit the food delivery app's ongoing efforts to enhance user experience. "I would love to have the opportunity to present it to you and the team if given the chance," the applicant, whose identity was not disclosed, said. "What I am truly hoping for is a single opportunity to express myself and showcase my work in front of you."
Prakash responded to the applicant saying although Swiggy does not have any openings for UX/UI designers at the moment, he would love to see the concept.
"While we may not have a relevant role at Swiggy for you at the moment, I've definitely taken note of your initiative. For now, please check out the comments in this post. I'd also love to review the concept you have developed. Would you mind dropping me an email? I'm sure you'll find my email address—you found my physical one!" he wrote on LinkedIn.
