Delhi saw the onset of monsoon on June 28, bringing with it the most precipitation in a single June day in 88 years. The capital city came to a complete halt due to the rain, with some commuters getting trapped on highways, flooded roads and chaotic traffic. Rainwater swamped roadways, submerging cars in many places. Several residents of the national capital used social media platforms such as X to post pictures and their stories of enduring the chaotic weather. One of them was Edelweiss Mutual Fund CEO and Shark Tank India judge Radhika Gupta, who shared her experience of travelling during a flooded metropolis. Gupta wrote, “What do you do when Delhi is flooded on the day you are supposed to have a roadshow?”
She continued by advising fellow residents of the national capital, to leave their cars in favour of the “fabulous metro, work and savour Chole Bhatura and Rajma Chawal. And as luck would have it have a record roadshow turnout! The spirit of Mumbai meets the rain of Delhi!”
The post was accompanied by pictures that showed her travelling across the flooded city.
The first image showed a car stuck in a flooded road. Radhika Gupta is next seen boarding a Delhi Metro. Next, we can see a plate of chole bhature. While the last image was from the conference room.
What do you when Delhi is flooded on the day you are supposed to have a roadshow? Ditch the car for the fabulous metro, enjoy Chole Bhatura and Rajma Chawal like a Delhi kid, and keep working… and as luck would have it have a record roadshow turnout!
