A new service in Delhi, India lets people hire workers to carry their shopping bags and help with other tasks

A company in Delhi has a new idea. They hire workers to carry shopping bags for busy people. The workers do more than just carry bags. They push baby carriages. They wait in food lines. They help customers at busy markets.

This service started recently in India's capital city. Young people need money. Busy shoppers need help. The company connects these two groups. Workers get jobs. Shoppers get assistance.

How does it work? A customer calls the company. A worker arrives at the store. The worker carries bags and helps with shopping. The customer pays a small fee. It is simple and fast.

Many people in Delhi like this idea. Shopping is hard work. Markets are crowded. Lines are long. Workers make the experience easier. Customers feel less tired.

However, some people have questions. Will this business last? Can it make money? Is it good for workers? Experts are not sure. The service is new and different. Nobody knows what will happen next.

This idea shows how companies solve city problems. Delhi is big and busy. People work long hours. Shopping takes time and energy. New services try to help. They make daily life a little easier. This CarryMen service is one example. It may grow. Or it may stay small. Time will tell.
