Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal on Sunday observed Friendship Day with a heartwarming gesture. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his plan of spreading joy by personally delivering meals and friendship bracelets to the dedicated delivery executives, esteemed customers, and valued restaurant partners.
The founder of the food-tech giant wrote, “Going to deliver some food and friendship bands to our delivery partners, restaurant partners and customers. Best Sunday ever!!”
In addition, he delightedly posted images of himself on a Royal Enfield motorcycle, clutching a collection of friendship bands adorned with the inscription, ‘best food friends forever.’
The CEO’s heartwarming gesture drew praise and excitement from amused users, who couldn’t help but express their admiration and delight.
One person wrote, “Zomato orders over Swiggy today where people are hoping to meet the CEO.”
Another user expressed their desire to have Goyal as their delivery partner and playfully inquired if he would be delivering in Chandigarh. Meanwhile, a grateful individual thanked Zomato for being their reliable ‘food friend’ during the absence of their domestic help.
Goyal has previously embraced the role of a Zomato delivery person on more than one occasion. On New Year’s Eve, he took it upon himself to deliver a few orders received through the app. Sharing the experience on Twitter, he even mentioned that his first delivery was made to the Zomato office itself.
In total, he proudly fulfilled four orders, adding to the excitement of his delivery adventures. Interestingly, his X (formerly Twitter) bio humorously reads, “Delivery boy at Zomato,” showcasing his playful and hands-on approach to the company he leads.
Just last week, Zomato achieved a significant milestone, posting a profit for the first time since its establishment in 2008. On August 3, the company proudly announced a net profit of INR 2 crore in the first quarter of the current financial year. In a light-hearted exchange on X (formerly Twitter), a user playfully suggested that Goyal could have borrowed the INR 2 crore from him instead of going door-to-door for deliveries. Responding with humor, the CEO appreciated the quip and playfully dubbed it the “Tweet of the day.”

In a recent move, the food delivery platform introduced a trial fee of INR 2 per order, regardless of the cart value. According to the app, this modest fee is aimed at helping them cover operational costs and ensure the smooth functioning of Zomato.
