Man left his bank job to deliver milk in a Rs 50 lakh Audi: The story that's going viral
In Faridabad , a luxury car pulling up outside homes isn't unusual. But when a man in casuals steps out of a Rs 50 lakh Audi to deliver milk, it turns heads. That man is Amit Bhadana– a former banker who left his corporate job to join his family's dairy business . Today, he delivers fresh milk door-to-door in an Audi A3 Cabriolet . What started as a simple delivery job has become a local talking point. Amit's journey from boardrooms to milk runs may seem unusual, but for him, it's a blend of family tradition , passion, and a love for doing things differently. From the corporate world to dairy deliveries As reported by the Times of India, Amit Bhadana didn't plan to leave his banking career– it just happened. Like many others, his life changed when the COVID pandemic hit. He took a break from work and started helping his brother with their family's dairy business. What began as a temporary fix soon turned into something more. As he got involved, he felt a stronger connection to his roots, and what was once a short-term solution became a full-time journey. 'I initially used my 750CC Harley-Davidson for deliveries. But the scorching summer sun made it challenging,' Amit remembers how he first tried doing deliveries on his Harley. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Egypt (Take A Look At The Prices) Container House Search Now Undo Enter the Audi: The luxury milkman Instead of going for a regular delivery van or bike, Amit chose something completely unexpected for his milk runs– his Audi A3 Cabriolet. The Rs 50 lakh convertible, known for its stylish look and foldable roof, became his everyday delivery car. It might seem unusual to use such a fancy car for a simple job, but for Amit, it just felt right. 'The weather-adjustable roof makes all the difference. Now, I can stay on the streets for long, even when the roof is retracted,' he explains, as quoted by TOI. With the Audi, Amit has found the perfect balance between comfort and practicality, allowing him to handle long hours under the sun without compromising on style. A family tradition at heart Even with the big career change, Amit has stayed closely connected to his family's dairy roots. According to a TOI report, their farm in Mohatabad village, home to 32 cows and 6 buffaloes, is the heart of the business. His father, Ram Avtar– a retired army man– looks after the farm, while his brothers, Lalit and Raj Singh, handle the daily work. For Amit, stepping into the dairy business wasn't just about making deliveries– it was about honoring his family's hard work and tradition. 'Every delivery run is like a joyride now. I'm living my passion for luxury vehicles, but honouring our family tradition at the same time,' he says, clearly proud of both his new life and the legacy he's continuing, as quoted by TOI. Balancing luxury with responsibility Amit knows driving an Audi comes with a price. Just the fuel costs him about Rs 400 a day– something that might surprise people for a milk delivery job. But for him, the joy and experience of it all make it worth every rupee. 'Every delivery run is like a joyride now,' he says, as quoted by TOI. Despite the rising fuel costs, Amit has no intention of downgrading his car or his lifestyle. Amit's unique delivery method has certainly caught the attention of Faridabad residents. As word spread, more and more people became curious about the man behind the luxury car and his milk deliveries. A return to the Harley? According to the report, while Amit's Audi has become a signature part of his daily routine, he's not ready to abandon his roots just yet. 'Come winter, I plan to switch back to my Harley,' he says, hinting that the motorcycle might make a comeback when the weather cools.

Meet the Audi-driving milkman of Faridabad
For the past few years, Amit Bhadana had been selling milk to neighbourhoods in Faridabad using a rather unusual mode of transport — not the typical cycle one usually associates with a milkman, but a 750CC Harley Davidson. Earlier this week, the 34-year-old upgraded his delivery vehicle — he now delivers milk in an Audi A3 Cabriolet worth Rs 70 lakh. Bhadana, a former employee at multiple private banks, has a family-run dairy business based out of Mohabatabad — they own over 30-plus cows — about 10k km from the city. From 7 am to 9 am, he delivers milk in two large 60-litre steel cans to neighbourhoods in Faridabad, including Sainik Colony, Sector 2,1 and parts of NIT. 'I started out delivering milk on a Honda bike during weekends while still in (DAV Centenary) college, to help out my brother,' says Bhadana. 'Then, after getting a job, I got a 2022, I bought the Harley.' Noticing the attention he was getting from customers and children, in January 2023, he uploaded a reel on Instagram of himself delivering milk on the bike. The reel garnered 3.1 million views. There's been no looking back since. 'The attention I have been getting since then has been intense. I get mobbed, flanked for photos and videos,' he smiles. Doing what may not always be an aspirational occupation for today's youth, he admits he did have apprehensions initially. 'But… I enjoy it. Automobiles are my passion, and I am getting to help family too.' He is not worried about the lack of profit, but insists his mode of delivery is not leading to any losses. '… If God's blessings and good fortune continue, then I will upgrade to an even better vehicle,' he adds. On the social media and news coverage he has been getting, he says, 'It is really pleasing, and makes me feel like a mini celebrity at times.' He says he often grabs eyeballs and gets requests for a lift when he's dropping his brother's children to school in his Audi. His decision to buy fancy vehicles, though, was initially met with resistance at home. 'My father asked why I was spending so much… more so when I was buying the Audi. But I stood my ground, and said this is the time to follow my passion, and they relented.' He remains tight-lipped about whether he needed a loan for any of the purchases. His father retired from the Army and manages the family's organic farm and business with his two other sons. Bhadana is married with two young daughters.
