What Is Zomato's Pure Veg Fleet
Zomato's Pure Veg Fleet will distinguish itself by employing green delivery boxes instead of the usual red ones. The CEO emphasized that these delivery personnel will solely handle orders from pure vegetarian restaurants and will not manage any non-vegetarian meals. Furthermore, they will refrain from entering non-vegetarian establishments while in possession of the green delivery box.
"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," Goyal noted.
