Zomato announced that its female delivery partners now have the option to wear kurtas instead of the standard Zomato t-shirts as part of their uniforms.
This decision comes in response to feedback from numerous female employees who expressed discomfort with the Western-style Zomato t-shirts.
In a post on LinkedIn, Zomato shared a video and wrote “Starting today, Zomato women delivery partners can choose to wear a kurta.”
The video showcased several Zomato delivery women donning the new kurtas provided by the company, engaging in what seemed to be a celebratory photoshoot. It documented their expressions of appreciation and endorsement for the company’s considerate gesture.
