A book about Blinkit, now on Blinkit. I have no idea how @albinder finds time for writing books alongside all that he has to do, but this is an excellent read about the challenges of starting up, building, breaking, and rebuilding for retail in India. A few hundred signed copies available on Blinkit.

We are proud of the idea of India - and the diversity of our esteemed customers and partners. We aren’t sorry to lose any business that comes in the way of our values. 🇮🇳

We don't encourage order cancellation at Zomato, because it leads to a tremendous amount of food wastage. Inspite of stringent policies, and and a no-refund policy for cancellations, more than 4 lakh perfectly good orders get canceled on Zomato, for various reasons by customers. The top concern for us, the restaurant industry, and even the customers who cancel these orders, is to somehow save the food from going to waste. Today, we are introducing a new feature (being scaled as we speak) – Food Rescue! Canceled orders will now pop up for nearby customers, who can grab them at an unbeatable price, in their original untampered packaging, and receive them in just minutes.

I want to chime in about the incident that happened in Bengaluru a few days ago. @zomato

Congratulations @swiggy! Couldn't have asked for a better company to serve India with.

On the @zomato app, customers could always skip cutlery with their orders. We are now changing this from an ‘opt-out’ to an ‘opt-in’. Customers will now have to explicitly request for cutlery, tissues, and straws, if they need it.

During my second order, I realised that we need to work with malls more closely to improve working conditions for all delivery partners. And malls also need to be more humane to delivery partners. What do you think?

Delivery Partner Vaccination Update – 25,000+ of our delivery partners are now vaccinated. We want to make sure that they stay safe while serving the nation and keep our customers safe as well. Camps in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and multiple other cities are in full swing.

India has tried building gas turbine engines before. And we’ve come close. At LAT, we want to get past the finish line. So we’re putting together a propulsion research team in Bangalore, focused solely on building gas turbine engines from scratch. Lightweight. Efficient. Flight-ready. Made in India. What’s different this time? We’re giving engineers the freedom to think, build, break, and repeat. Our dedicated research centre — with labs for combustion, turbomachinery, thermal systems, and materials, will give engineers the space and freedom to iterate fast, and get to real outcomes at a speed which is unprecedented in the industry. Also, this team will be led by engineers. No waiting around for approvals from "business" people. No chasing slides or meetings. Just hands-on problem solving, running bench tests, working with suppliers, building hardware from scratch — and pushing the limits of design and physics every day. It won’t be easy. But if it works, it changes everything. A full engine stack, built locally. Powering STOL aircraft. UAVs. Remote connectivity. Self-reliance. If you’ve ever built turbines, rotors, control systems — or anything close — and want to be part of something that could one day, rewrite history, write to us at engines@lat.com — Note: LAT is not a part of Eternal

India has the largest percentage of vegetarians in the world, and one of the most important feedback we’ve gotten from them is that they are very particular about how their food is cooked, and how their food is handled.

Every few years, the world reminds us of our place. A threat here, a tariff there. But the message is the same: stay in your lane, India. Global powers will always bully us, unless we take our destiny in our own hands. And the only way to do that is if we collectively decide to become the world's largest most unapologetic superpower in the world. In economy, in technology, in defense, and most importantly, in ambition. There is absolutely no other way.

Update: @zomato now delivers food directly to your train coach at over 100 railway stations, thanks to our partnership with @IRCTCofficial. We’ve already served 10 lakh orders on trains. Try it on your next journey!

I have received an overwhelmingly positive response on this launch from so many people. A lot of comments from young people who eat non-veg food saying “now my parents can also use zomato”. I would like to repeat that this feature strictly serves a dietary preference. And I know there are a lot of customers who would never order food from a restaurant which serves meat, irrespective of their religion/caste. But why did we need to separate the fleets? Because despite everyone's best efforts, sometimes the food spills into the delivery boxes. In those cases, the smell of the previous order travels to the next order, and may lead to the next order smelling of the previous order. For this reason, we had to separate the fleet for veg orders. Please note that participation in our Veg delivery fleet will not discriminate on the basis of our delivery partner’s dietary preferences. There’s an opinion that some societies and RWAs will now not let our regular fleet in. We will stay alert for any such cases and work with these RWAs to not let this happen. We understand our social responsibility due to this change, and we will not back down from solving it when the need arises. And I promise, that if we see any significant negative social repercussions of this change, we will roll it back in a heartbeat.

Update on our pure veg fleet — While we are going to continue to have a fleet for vegetarians, we have decided to remove the on-ground segregation of this fleet on the ground using the colour green. All our riders — both our regular fleet, and our fleet for vegetarians, will wear the colour red. This means that the fleet meant for vegetarian orders will not be identifiable on the ground (but will show on the app that your veg orders will be served by the veg only fleet). This will ensure that our red uniform delivery partners are not incorrectly associated with non-veg food, and blocked by any RWAs or societies during any special days… our riders’ physical safety is of paramount importance to us. We now realise that even some of our customers could get into trouble with their landlords, and that would not be a nice thing if that happened because of us. Thanks everyone for talking about this last night. You made us understand the unintended consequences of this rollout. All the love, and all the brickbats were all so useful - and helped us get to this optimal point. We are always listening, without unnecessary ego, or pride. We look forward to continue serving you.

Today, along with thousands of our restaurant partners, we just rolled out a “priority delivery for covid emergencies'' feature on the Zomato app. This feature will allow our customers to mark *This order is related to a COVID-19 emergency* option during checkout. (1/4)

Last week, we started vaccinating our delivery partners in NCR. In one of the largest efforts of its kind, we are facilitating a free and safe vaccination drive for more than 150,000 of our frontline staff and employees. Thousands of our delivery partners are already vaccinated.

Zomato Feeding India, our not-for-profit has kickstarted the “Help Save My India” endeavour today in association with @delhivery to source oxygen concentrators and related supplies to help hospitals and families in need.

Today, we are excited to introduce India's first large order fleet, designed to handle all your large (group/party/event) orders with ease. This is an all electric fleet, designed specifically to serve orders for a gathering of upto 50 people.

Announcing 'The Shelter Project' – we've started building public infrastructure (Rest Points) to support the well being of delivery partners of various companies. Read more – zomato.com/blog/the-shelter-…

We are deeply aggrieved by the death of our delivery partner Salil Tripathi in an unfortunate road incident. We are extending all possible support to help the family get through this –

Update: I am looking for a chief of staff for myself.

A few months ago, Blinkit Ambulances started quietly in Gurugram with just 5 ambulances and a dream. What if emergency help could reach you in 10 minutes, just like groceries? This is one of the hardest and the most resource intensive challenges we have ever taken up. But we are not backing down. We started with 5 ambulances at the beginning of the year in Gurugram and currently, we have 12.  From serving a small area around Golf Course Road, we have now extended the service to cover almost half of Gurugram.  Until today, we have responded to 594 calls, 50% of these critical emergencies. Today, our 12 ambulances across 6 depots reach patients within 10 minutes, 83% of the time. But numbers only tell part of the story. Behind every number, every case, is a human being and their family. Moments of fear and hope, desperation and relief. We discovered how hesitant people still are to call an ambulance, even in critical moments. Many prefer personal cars or cabs, afraid help won’t arrive on time. We learned how difficult it is to find and train paramedics who can deliver not just medical aid, but empathy when it matters most. Our team is now building an in-house paramedic training program to raise the bar of emergency care in India. Blinkit Ambulances isn’t just a project. It’s a responsibility we carry close to our hearts. It’s tough, it’s emotional, and it’s still Day 1. We’re learning. We’re committed. And we won’t stop until every single person trusts that life-saving help is only 10 minutes away. Has Blinkit Ambulances helped you, or your near and dear ones? We would love to hear your story – will serve as fuel for us and the Ambulances team to keep going. Cc @albinder

Starting today, we will recycle 100% plastic used for food delivery packaging on Zomato orders. Also, over the next 3 years, we’ll help cut down the plastic footprint of the restaurant sector. Read more here – zomato.com/blog/introducing-…

Update on Zomato Legends - after two years of trying, not finding product market fit, we have decided to shut down the service with immediate effect.

Our dedicated Pure Veg Fleet will only serve orders from these pure veg restaurants. This means that a non-veg meal, or even a veg meal served by a non-veg restaurant will never go inside the green delivery box meant for our Pure Veg Fleet.

Zomato is excited to back @GoyatNeeraj as he makes India proud at a global stage. I met Neeraj at @KapilSharmaK9's show recently. His story and attitude are inspiring. Neeraj is the only Indian boxer to make it to one of the biggest boxing fights — the Paul vs Tyson mega-event streaming on @netflix @netflixindia this week. We are thrilled to be a small part of Neeraj's journey, as his official sponsors. Rooting for him. Punch up, brother 🥊

Hard to believe that no one was harmed in the making of this zoMaato ad #ZomatovsZomato

Going to deliver some food and friendship bands to our delivery partners, restaurant partners and customers. Best Sunday ever!!

To solve for their dietary preferences, we are today, launching a “Pure Veg Mode" along with a “Pure Veg Fleet” on Zomato, for customers who have a 100% vegetarian dietary preference.

More than 40,000 orders in the last hour included a tip for our delivery partners. Love you, India ❤️

Ambience Mall has already responded to the situation, and created a comfortable online food delivery pick up point for all delivery partners. Thanks Arjun (owner of Ambience) for noticing my post and taking quick action. He’s also agreed to let us deploy some “walkers” inside the mall to quickly shuttle the food from the restaurant to these pickup points to hand over the food to delivery partners. I urge all the other mall owners to please do the same, or come up with other innovative solutions which can help our collective customers, our delivery partners, restaurants, delivery aggregators, as well as malls themselves.

Still day one.

Today, we are taking another small step towards making Zomato a more sustainable enterprise. We now fund local environmental projects to offset the carbon footprint of all our deliveries + packaging in India.

We have 1.8mn Zomato Pro members as of today. And one of the most requested features from our customers has been “Unlimited Free Deliveries” (something like Amazon Prime). So… in a few hours, we are launching our Limited Edition *Pro Plus* membership for select customers…

On the day of our listing, here’s something I want to share with our shareholders, and India’s startup ecosystem. zomato.com/blog/letter-from-… The future looks exciting. I don’t know whether we will succeed or fail – we will surely, like always, give it our best.

Love you, India! You’ve tipped over ₹97 lakhs till now to the delivery partners serving you tonight ❤️❤️❤️

Update 3.

An ignorant mistake by someone in a support centre of a food delivery company became a national issue. The level of tolerance and chill in our country needs to be way higher than it is nowadays. Who's to be blamed here?

Congratulations, @vijayshekhar and @Paytm on becoming profitable. Sorry, a bit late to the party – was so busy working on our own profitability ;-)

A lot of people are calling this a ‘historical moment’. It is not. History is always made in hindsight. Never in the present. Back to work.

Starting today, we are making it our goal to increase women delivery partner participation in our fleet. Currently, there are less than ~0.5% women delivery partners in our fleet and this needs to change. Here’s what we plan to do about it: zomato.com/blog/more-inclusi…

For years, there’s been something about Zomato that made me uneasy. We made eating out and ordering in easier than ever, but we never really helped people truly eat better. Yes, you could find a salad or a smoothie bowl, but the truth is, if you wanted to eat genuinely nourishing food, Zomato didn’t make it easy. That weighed on me, because when we say our mission is “better food for more people”, the “better” has to mean something deeper. Today, we’ve taken one of the biggest steps in fixing that blind spot. We’re launching Healthy Mode on Zomato. Every dish in this mode now comes with a Healthy Score—from Low to Super—based on what really counts for your health: protein, complex carbs, fibre, and micronutrients, and not just calories. Behind the scenes it’s AI and restaurant data doing the heavy lifting, but what you’ll see is simple: a clear explanation of what makes a dish healthy, and why. This is not your run of the mill “healthy mode” for beginners. We have kept the bar very high, that professional athletes can rely on healthy mode to find food that works for them. This is personal for me. I’ve carried the guilt that Zomato made it easy to eat whatever you craved, but not easy to eat what your body needed. Healthy Mode is our first real step in putting that right. It’s live in Gurgaon, and we’ll expand fast. Try it, tear it apart, tell us where it fails. Because this is just the beginning—and for the first time, I feel we’re moving meaningfully closer to truly living up to our mission: better food for more people.

Once upon a time, people believed the Earth was flat. And then they didn’t. Then they believed the sun revolved around the Earth. Until they didn’t. Humanity has built rockets, sequenced genomes, and cloned cells. Yet, in all our brilliance, we may have missed something glaringly simple. At Continue, we’ve been chasing a crazy insight into why we age; a pattern that’s been hiding in plain sight for eternity. We’ve tried desperately to disprove it. We couldn’t. Two years later, clues from biology, physics, evolution, and medicine are all pointing in the same direction. In 48 hours, I’ll share what we’ve found and how one element of our environment may hold the key to slowing human aging. Stay tuned.

60,000 delivery partners vaccinated as of today. Our team is delivering vaccinations to @zomato delivery partners across the country real fast. 🚀💉

Please note that this Pure Veg Mode, or the Pure Veg Fleet doesn’t serve or alienate any religious, or political preference 🫶

Fun fact: We’ve delivered almost as many orders on NYE 23 as we did on NYE 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 combined 🤯 Excited about the future!

More details – The canceled order will pop up on the app for customers within a 3 km radius of the delivery partner carrying the order. To ensure freshness, the option to claim will only be available for a few minutes. Zomato will not keep any proceeds (except the required government taxes). The amount paid by the new customer will be shared with the original customer (if they made payment online), and with the restaurant partner. Orders containing items sensitive to distances or temperature such as ice creams, shakes, smoothies, and certain perishable items, will not be eligible for Food Rescue. Restaurant partners will continue to receive compensation for the original canceled order, plus a portion of the amount paid by the new customer if the order is claimed. Most restaurants have opted in for this feature, and can opt of it easily whenever they want, directly from their control panels. Delivery partners will be compensated fully for the entire trip, from the initial pickup to the final drop-off at the new customer’s location. Food Rescue will show up on your home page automatically if there's a canceled order available for you to grab. Refresh the home page to check for any newly available orders which need to be rescued.

Hey! We had absolutely nothing to do with this. We don’t endorse helmet-less biking. Also, we don’t have a “Indore Marketing Head”. This seems to be someone just “free-riding” on our brand. Having said that, there’s nothing wrong with women delivering food - we have hundreds of women who deliver food everyday to earn a livelihood for their families, and we are proud of their work ethic.

Announcement: 10 minute food delivery is coming soon on Zomato. Food quality – 10/10 Delivery partner safety – 10/10 Delivery time – 10 minutes Here’s how Zomato Instant will achieve the impossible while ensuring delivery partner safety –  zomato.com/blog/zomato-insta…

Never been so excited and indifferent at the same time. #ZomatoIPO

India and its love for Biryanis😋 (heat map of Biryani orders till 9pm)

On that note, just stepping out to deliver some pure veg orders with @rrakesh_15 with our newly launched Pure Veg Fleet. See ya!

Pure Veg Mode will consist of a curation of restaurants that serve only pure vegetarian food, and will exclude all restaurants which serve any non-veg food item.

Zomato Feeding India’s mission is to “Make India Malnutrition Free”. Awareness campaigns play an important role in bringing long-term behavioural change – in the past #SwachhBharat #BetiBachao and #GlobalCitizen have been able to make a real dent. (1/5)

UPDATE: Our delivery partner Ramu Sahu has gracefully accepted the electric vehicle that we were keen on him having. 💯

Excited to unveil India's first crowd-supported weather infrastructure, weatherunion.com. A proprietary network of 650+ on-ground weather stations, it is the largest private infrastructure of its kind in our country. These weather stations, developed by Zomato, provide localised, real-time information on key weather parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall etc. Currently available across 45 large cities, we are expanding this in other Indian cities very soon. This rich data holds significant potential in unlocking weather use cases for enterprises and research institutes. Having already collaborated with CAS - IIT Delhi, we expect more institutions and companies to benefit from this and contribute towards the greater good of our economy. At Zomato, it was crucial for us to have access to precise and real-time weather information to make the right business decisions to serve our customers better. Hence, we took it upon ourselves to develop a solution capable of empowering us on this front. We are now opening up free access to this (through an API) to all institutions and companies in the country. Wait. What? Free? Really? Yes, we believe that this data is too valuable to keep to ourselves or to monetise; therefore, as a Zomato Giveback, we are opening up access to this data to everyone for public good. Multiple companies and public institutions should use real-time weather data, to boost the productivity of our economy. Also, a lot of Zomato employees have hosted weather stations at their homes. As we look forward to further expanding this infrastructure, we welcome volunteers who want to provide us space on their premises to install these weather stations and contribute to nation building.

Yes, we will also serve you Maggi through our 10 minute food stations :)

Having said that, we should all tolerate each other's imperfections. And appreciate each other's language and regional sentiments. Tamil Nadu – we love you. Just as much as we love the rest of the country. Not more, not less. We are all the same, as much as we are different.❤️

“Quick” is not just about commerce. It’s about saving lives as well. This is a first in the world. Congratulations @albinder and team for thinking of societal impact, and making things come true with record speed. So much more can happen in “quick” and I truly believe that this is just a start.

Uber Eats India is now Zomato. Here's to better food for more people, and new beginnings. For more details: zomato.com/blog/uber-eats-in…

In the future, we plan to add more specialised fleets for special customer needs. For example, there's a special cake delivery fleet coming up with hydraulic balancers which prevent your cake from getting smudged during delivery.

Big day today for the restaurant industry. Stay home, stay safe, and order away. We are ready to serve you.

Folks – you can now buy tickets to 1000+ of the most amazing new year parties in major cities in India on the Zomato app! If you are not house-partying tomorrow, it might be a bloody good idea to step out :D

Really want to attend the party in Kolkata – where someone just ordered 125 items in a single order 🤯

War room ready for tonight. I hope AWS doesn't run out of servers 🤞

And remember, our call centre agents are young people, who are at the start of their learning curves and careers. They are not experts on languages and regional sentiments. Nor am I, btw.

Happy new year, 🇮🇳 And thank you to all our restaurant partners, delivery partners, and the entire zomato team for a stunning finish to an otherwise very hard year. I hope 2022 is great for all of us. Stay happy and stay safe.

Our order velocity right now is the highest we have seen in our life so far (~2500 orders per minute (opm)). Surpassed India vs Pakistan day wala opm. And it's only 6pm! I hope our tech lives through this.💗

Excited to introduce Zomato for Enterprise (ZFE), a platform designed for companies to solve food expense management. A lot of Zomato orders placed by corporate employees are business-related and need to be reimbursed by the company. The reimbursement process is cumbersome and time-consuming. With ZFE, employees can simply bill their business orders directly to their employer, without having to pay. Companies can use ZFE to add employees, set budgets, define ordering rules and much more. ZFE adds convenience to your employees, while we take care of the rest - with complete transparency. Over 100 top companies are already using ZFE. We are grateful for their feedback, which has helped shape this initiative. We invite all corporate leaders to try ZFE in your organisation. Write to us at enterprise@zomato.com to get started.

Update 2: we have over 10,000 applications, a lot of them well thought through, mixed between - 1. Those who have all the money 2. Those who have some of the money 3. Those who say they don’t have the money 4. Those who really don’t have the money We will be closing the application inbox by 6pm IST today. Stay tuned for Update 3.

This feature will see a phased roll out across the country in the next few weeks. We remain committed to listening to our customers, and serving our community in the best possible way.

Fun fact: orders delivered today >> sum of all orders delivered in the first 3 years of our food delivery service.

After a long COVID hiatus, Zomaland is back! This will be our grandest season, with the carnival setting up its tents in 7 cities, hosting the best of dining and entertainment. Early bird access live, on the latest @Zomato app! #zomaland Read more – bit.ly/3Eh3Uzo

Hello all - just want to clarify that the fssai team noted that 90 packets of button mushrooms had incorrect packaging date - these were already identified by our warehouse team and were rejected during an inward QC. This is not usual, and was due to a manual typing error on the vendor’s side. Still, the concerned vendor has been delisted from our database. At Hyperpure, we have stringent inward guidelines and tech systems that helped our teams to identify this error in time. We are committed to upholding industry food safety standards and are focused on not compromising on product quality at any stage of the supply chain. The recent food safety inspection at our Hyderabad warehouse resulted in the Hyperpure warehouse achieving an A+ rating, highest benchmark in their ranking. I am not sure why just these small number of mushroom packets worth Rs 7,200 (out of the crores of inventory in the warehouse), which were never going to make it to customers, are being talked about the media, while we got an A+ rating. Maybe some people benefit from the virality which they get at the expense of pulling down the Zomato brand. And maybe we all love to believe the narrative that “all big business is bad business”.

For cash on delivery orders, finding exact change can sometimes be inconvenient. Starting today, our customers can pay delivery partners in cash, and ask for the balance amount to be added instantly to their Zomato Money account. This balance can be used towards future delivery orders or dining out. Thank you @bigbasket_com for the inspiration for this solution, and our delivery partners (three of them are working as product managers with us) for insisting that we develop this asap.

Milestone Alert – our food delivery services are now available in 500 cities in India. Over the past month, we launched in 120 cities – bringing the daily average to 4 new launches! To learn more – zomato.com/blog/500-cities

Going to deliver a couple of orders on my own right now. Should be back in an hour or so.

On that note, we are reinstating the agent – this alone is not something she should have been fired for. This is easily something she can learn and do better about going forward.

Ready to get (India’s) party started 🤞

Glad you liked it! @anandmahindra

Big hugs and thanks to the entire @unacademy team for a very generous contribution of Rs 7 crores to @feedingindia for procuring medical supplies for India.

Few months back, we launched India’s first ‘Emergency Heroes’ program to provide professional first-responder training to our delivery partners. Happy to announce that we now have 20,000+ delivery partners across 31 cities, fully equipped to provide medical aid in roadside emergencies.

Exciting new weekend update: Group Ordering is now on Zomato!
 You can now share a link with your friends, and everyone can add to the cart seamlessly, making ordering together faster and easier. No more passing the phone around awkwardly to collect everyone's order 😉 We’re gradually rolling it out to all customers as we speak. In case the feature is available to you, please use it for your house party tonight, and tell us how it goes.

So many people keep asking me about Continue. What is it? What are you up to? Here you go... Continue started as a research effort two years ago, with the belief that if the human body is a system, it should also have its leverage points. The simple levers that, when adjusted, could fundamentally alter how we age and live. Along with a team of initially skeptical researchers, we've been investigating a penny-drop insight about human aging. Something that's been hiding in plain sight for eternity. But more on that in a few weeks. We are at the tail-end of the research on this hypothesis, which if true, could fundamentally change our understanding of biology and aging. But today isn't about that. It's bigger than that. Today, we are expanding Continue Research to include a $25 million fund (entirely personally backed) to support researchers across the world who dare to ask simpler questions than anyone else. Who believe biology might be far simpler than we've made it. For over a decade, I have believed that most of the world’s problems stem from our short human lifespans. Continue Research’s goal is to extend healthy human function long enough that humans stop making short-term decisions. Read more about Continue’s purpose at – continue.com This will be a multi-decadal journey. Our goal here is to become a small catalyst in humanity's journey of conscious evolution. To lead us into the Post-Darwin era. Researchers, please look us up and apply for funding/grants at – continue.com/researchers ——— PS: Continue is not a part of Eternal

Hiring update on the Chief of Staff – We started with 18,000+ applications and have had the privilege of meeting over 150 incredibly talented individuals. From this, 30 exceptional people received offers, and 18 have already joined Zomato (and other group companies like Blinkit) in high-impact roles. They’re being handsomely compensated for the value they bring, and nobody paid anything to work with us. Who are these 30 people? Founders who bootstrapped startups from their dorm rooms, engineers who rewrote entire tech stacks over a weekend, operators who turned chaos into scale, and a handful of brilliant young minds fresh out of college—people we believe will lead us into the future. What sets them apart? A long-term mindset. They weren’t optimizing for short-term outcomes but for compounding impact—the most misunderstood mathematical miracle. Finding people who truly get this is rare, and I’m grateful we did. 4 of the 18 people who have already joined us, work directly with me, and 2 of them are in Chief of Staff roles. And we’re not done. With 18,000+ applications, we’re still carefully sifting through this amazing talent pool. This isn’t just a one-time hiring sprint—it’s a long-term investment in the people who will build the future with us. We’ll keep reaching out to the right folks, slowly but surely.

8422 orders were placed at 8:06 pm - that’s 140 orders every second 😯

We’ll let India decide that

Welcome to the dark side. Being rolled out to everyone over the next few days. Update at 30% rollout right now; 100% by Sunday.

😬

Dinner is here. Arrived 10 minutes early. Ordered on Zomato.

Zomato Feeding India Concert (ZFIC) is back! Headlining this year’s event is my favourite global pop icon, @DUALIPA, an inspiration to millions worldwide! ZFIC is our endeavour to strengthen India’s resolve to eradicate malnutrition and hunger in the country through community mobilisation. This is just the beginning of the movement and I couldn’t be more excited! See you all on November 30th in Mumbai, to experience the uniting power of music! Stay tuned! Pre-sale tickets go live on the Zomato app starting August 27th. @FeedingIndia @zomato

Coming soon.

This isn't an ad. It’s a belief in effort over everything else. Every day, millions of Indians tap ‘Place Order’ on @zomato in between their routines, responsibilities and dreams. Some are building startups. Some are raising kids. Some are taking a break. Different stories, one thing in common: Consistent effort. We’re not here to celebrate the stars, but the fire that built them. The fire each one of us carries inside — while food is just the fuel. To everyone chasing something they care deeply about and showing up for it — we're glad to be a small part of your journey ❤️

Back in office. Delivered 4 orders; one of them to an elderly couple celebrating NYE with their grandchildren ♥️

I am looking to work with business and product leaders who have already started using AI as their second brain. If you are the one, please write to me at d@zomato.com PLEASE include the phrase "I have a second brain" in the subject line.

All this and more already in place. Good thinking, btw. Who are you and what do you do? Would love to know you more, and see if we can work together? :) DM me please if you wanna chat more.

Update: you can now schedule orders on Zomato. Plan your meals better by placing an order up to 2 days in advance, and we’ll deliver right on time. For now, scheduling is available for orders above ₹1,000, at around 13,000 outlets across Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Lucknow and Jaipur. These restaurants historically, have high quantities of dishes in stock and have shown kitchen-preparation-time consistency. More restaurants and cities are being added. We will soon extend this for all orders.

3.2 lakh+ delivery partners across @zomato and @letsblinkit are serving India today. Thank you for helping the nation celebrate 🤗❤️
