The user shared details of his 40th week. The week was from September 29 to October 5. The screenshot showed a total earnings of Rs 3,749.4, Rs 3,379.9, Rs 2,460.3 and Rs 4,020.3 on October 2, October 2, October 4 and October 5, respectively.
Some users on Reddit questioned the legitimacy of the earnings, while others praised the agent’s hard work. The agent clarified that his earnings vary depending on factors like weather and demand, and he sometimes benefits from surge bonuses during peak hours or rainy conditions.
In the comment section, the delivery agent noted that “what’s better is rain, no full blown rain but just gentle rain that goes on for a long time” as they get a rain surge.
“On a completely different week, I worked for just 3days and made 12k with just 600-700 petrol, because two out of those three days it rained non stop from evening 6 to night 11-12,” he said.
To put this into perspective, Zepto delivery partners can earn varying amounts based on factors like location, demand, and hours worked.
