Saptarshi Prakash, Assistant Vice President (AVP) Design at Swiggy, recently expressed his surprise and admiration for a job seeker who used an unconventional method to apply for a job. In an interview with X, Mr. Prakash said that he received a physical letter from a designer wanting to join Swiggy. “In the digital age, this old school approach stands out,” he wrote, sharing images of the letter. In the correspondence, the job seeker suggested a new opt-in that he believed could improve Swiggy’s usability. “I would love to have the opportunity to present it to you and the team if I had the chance… What I really hope for is this one opportunity to express myself and showcase my work in front of you,” the job applicant wrote. .

In his post, Mr. Prakash noted that Swiggy currently has no vacancies available in the field of UX/UI Design. However, he encouraged the candidate to email the concept. In a separate post on LinkedInMr. Prakash said, “Though we don’t have a suitable role for you at Swiggy right now, I definitely appreciated your initiative.” “I would also like to take a look at the concept you created. Could you send me an email? I’m sure you’ll find my email address—you managed to find my physical address!” he added.
