From delivering food on Swiggy in the city of dreams to paving his way as a professional model, Sahil’s journey is a beacon of hope for anyone chasing their passions.

Early Stage Hustles’

Sahil’s rise wasn’t overnight. In a video, Sahil revealed that he started his journey as a Swiggy delivery agent, making between INR 18,000 and INR 22,000 a month. But the hustle didn’t stop there. Thereafter, he also worked at Burger King as a chef and at Mango Mart, doing whatever it took to support himself.

Sahil’s modeling dream began in 2009 when he saw a poster of a model. At the time, he was selling wallets on the roadside. Determined to break into the fashion industry, he spent years gathering knowledge and auditioning. “I did nearly 200 auditions,” he shares. After the long hustling period this year, his perseverance paid off when he was chosen by Streax to walk the ramp.

His caption says it all: “Delivery boy to sales executive to MODEL.”

The video has garnered 5.2 million views and thousands of comments yet, hyping him up on Instagram.

One of the users commented, “It’s commendable that you are willing to put in the hard work 🙌🏻. You will succeed at whatever you put your mind to ✌🏻.”

While the second user said, “Bro stopped serving from restaurants and started serving looks as a model,” which was extremely savage.

Even with Streax, he had to advocate for himself, agreeing to wear heels to meet their requirements. His story is a reminder that sometimes, you have to push through obstacles to make your mark.
