Zomato-NSE partnership: What's brewing? Deepinder Goyal's latest announcement for delivery partners

In a significant move, Zomato and NSE India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver financial literacy workshops across India.

These workshops are tailored to educate Zomato’s delivery partners on personal finance management, focusing on foundational financial instruments such as fixed deposits (FDs) and budgeting techniques.

Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal highlighted the pressing need for such initiatives. "As a step to improve financial awareness among delivery partners onboarded on @zomato, I am glad to announce our partnership with @NSEIndia. Together we will host financial literacy workshops pan-India to educate the delivery partner community on nuances of personal finance management.

In our surveys, we've realised that more than 60% delivery partners are unaware of basic financial instruments like FDs.," Goyal posted on X (formerly Twitter). The initiative targets these gaps by providing essential financial knowledge.

Hyderabad Workshop Sees High Engagement

The first workshop took place on October 22 in Hyderabad, with over 2,000 delivery partners participating voluntarily. "On 22nd October, we held our first educational workshop in Hyderabad, where 2,000+ delivery partners voluntarily participated. These workshops are specially curated to suit their needs.

I hope these sessions act as a foundation for all our delivery partners to manage, save and grow their finances and assist them on their path to financial independence," Goyal added. He hopes these sessions will act as a financial foundation, promoting savings and growth toward financial independence.

Zomato 'Food Rescue'

Recently, Zomato is tackling the growing concern of food waste with its innovative initiative, 'Food Rescue.' Every month, Zomato faces a staggering number of canceled orders—around 4 lakh—that would otherwise go to waste.

In response, the company has developed a solution that offers canceled orders to nearby customers at unbeatable prices, ensuring that perfectly good food is not thrown away. These orders are delivered in their original, untampered packaging, helping both reduce waste and offer customers a chance to enjoy discounted meals.
