Delhi startup CarryMen offers shopping-assistance service at Lajpat Nagar for Rs 149/hour, providing trained assistants to carry bags, navigate stores, and support elderly/pregnant shoppers. Launched April, 50+ bookings in first month, planning Chandni Chowk expansion.

Why this matters

CarryMen's debut in Lajpat Nagar shows how dense Indian high streets are spawning hyperlocal convenience services, monetising the friction of crowded lanes and heavy shopping bags.

Footfall signals steady at 61 in the last 90 days, with high-street convenience plays gaining traction.
