LazyLegs: A Peer-to-Peer Delivery Service by MIT Students, for MIT Students

LazyLegs is a student-powered delivery network designed for MIT students, allowing them to act as either clients or delivery partners. Whether you need an item picked up or want to earn by delivering, we ensure a secure and efficient process.

I founded LazyLegs in my first year of Electrical Engineering at MIT, Manipal — not as a company, but as a real-world experiment.

What began as a simple WhatsApp group quickly evolved into a proof-of-concept that addressed a deep, overlooked friction in campus life: last-mile delivery. With zero platform fees, we tested the GTM and chased product-market fit head-on. The response was instant — 200+ deliveries completed in just two months, and a 700-member community built entirely through demand.

We didn’t just validate a need — we demonstrated real traction, with operational velocity and no tech stack.

LazyLegs was never just a project. It was a conviction: even the most local, everyday inefficiencies can birth scalable, high-impact platforms — if executed correctly.

LazyLegs is, now, a community of 900+ students from different institutes of MAHE residing in the MIT Campus!

I completed my tenure as a member of the WorkComm at Finova and subsequently advanced to the Management Committee. In this capacity, I contributed to the board's restructuring efforts by introducing the Investment Banking Domain. In my first year, I was actively involved in Finance: Banking and Payments, Quantitative Analysis and Algo Trading, and Blockchain and Web3 domains, finishing the tasks assigned periodically.

The Post is the official student-run media and news company/body of MIT, Manipal. I’m working as part of The Post Staff in Writing, Social Media Management, and Public Relations Domains. I wrote about three articles and fabricated many SM and PR enhancement proposals, which were appreciated and put into implementation.

ISTE Manipal is one of the branches of the nationwide Indian Society of Technical Education. It is Manipal's most reputed and esteemed multi-disciplinary technical club.

The Turing Circle is a dynamic Mathematics and Computing Club at MIT Manipal, founded to bring together curious minds passionate about exploring the intersection of math, technology, and real-world problem-solving. I was successfully recruited into the Quantitative Analysis domain. In my first year, I was part of the Working Committee, contributing to meetings and attending regularly.

I successfully qualified for two rounds of filtering, cracked the interview, and was recruited into the Task Phase of MRM, where I worked on writing more than 100+ reports. I worked on many projects and learned tools and concepts like Arduino IDE, LTSpice, TinkerCAD, 555 timer, Arduino R3 board Hardware, Control and Communication Systems, Keil Software, Resistors, Atmel Microcontrollers, and Embedded Systems. I left the task phase for my own commitments and started LazyLegs.

ADA Dramatics is the biggest dramatics student club of MIT, Manipal. ADA Dramatics is a socio-theatrical society of MIT Manipal, which gives drama enthusiasts a platform to flaunt their knack for dramatics to the world. ADA provides opportunities for developing management and communication skills along with theatre arts and focusing on the personal and professional growth of an individual and the club's overall development. The club firmly believes that wins and losses are mere numbers; it is essential to celebrate the efforts of the people and encourage them throughout. We have numerous departments in the club, ranging from acting to writing, from short films to sets and logistics, instrumentals, lights and sounds, etc. I was always fascinated by movies- the way actors were directed to act and scripts and tried to act secretively while my parents weren't home. I remember those fond memories of me at a very young age, trying to explore relatively everything under the sun. When I was finally in MIT, Manipal, which had this extraordinary and astounding Dramatics club, I believed it was time for my talent exhibition. I gave an interview, which, indeed, was challenging. However, through all good luck, I made it!

I am learning considerable theater arts skills and broadening my knowledge in non-technical and cultural fields.
