Taking note of the viral video of a Swiggy delivery boy riding a horse in Mumbai rains, a food delivery unicorn has announced 5,000 Swiggy Money for the first person who shares useful information about the delivery person.

Along with the bounty amount, the company has also changed the order tracking icon to a delivery boy on a horse as a tribute. This has attracted some warranted attention from netizens who have been posting the screenshots on social media.
