That’s what happens when someone else makes the choice for you,” Swiggy Instamart told customers through it paper bag. “Cast your vote. Own your choices,” the delivery service advised. “Instamart randomly gave free tinday with my delivery today and a rather fun message also. You already know the rhyming word,” Tirodkar wrote on X, referring to Swiggy Instamart’s wordplay on tinday rhyming with Eknath Shinde, the current chief miner of Maharashtra.
