Swiggy executive says he received an ‘unconventional’ job application; calls it ‘breach of privacy’

Swiggy’s Saptarshi Prakash, an assistant vice president (AVP) of Design shared a LinkedIn post where he talked about an ‘unconventional’ job application that he received recently. In the post, he said that he got a physical letter from a designer who wanted to join Swiggy. “Not only that, the person claimed to have developed a concept that could benefit our ‘ongoing efforts to enhance user experience’,” he wrote.
In the letter, the applicant said that he has a new concept that could enhance the user experience on the Swiggy app. He wrote, “I would love to have the opportunity to present it to you and the team if given the chance… What I am truly hoping for is a single opportunity to express myself and showcase my work in front of you.”
Here's a copy of the letter as shared by Swiggy executive on X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn

While the executive was impressed with the approach, he also called it a breach of privacy. “At first, I felt it was a bit unconventional, maybe even a slight breach of privacy. But then I realised it genuinely caught my attention—enough that I'm sharing it here on LinkedIn,” he said.
Something unusual happened last week 😅
I got a call from Swiggy's front desk saying I had received a letter. This was a bit unusual because I don't remember giving out my office address for any correspondence. Yesterday, since it was a work-from-office day, I went and picked up the letter.
To my surprise, it was from a design aspirant reaching out to me. Yes, a physical letter—delivered to my office and personally addressed to me. It was from a designer eager to join Swiggy. Not only that, the person claimed to have developed a concept that could benefit our “ongoing efforts to enhance user experience”.
Now, this isn't the first time someone has approached me, but it's the first time through a physical letter sent via India Post! In a world where emails and DMs are the go-to methods, this person decided to go old-school to stand out. And you know what? It worked.
At first, I felt it was a bit unconventional, maybe even a slight breach of privacy. But then I realised it genuinely caught my attention—enough that I'm sharing it here on LinkedIn. Sometimes, stepping away from the usual can really make an impact.
To the person who sent the letter: While we may not have a relevant role at Swiggy for you at the moment, I've definitely taken note of your initiative. For now, please check out the comments in this post. I'd also love to review the concept you have developed. Would you mind dropping me an email? I'm sure you'll find my email address—you found my physical one! 😄
To everyone else: If you know of any design openings or opportunities, please drop them in the comments. Let's help connect this proactive individual with the right people!
