Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal Turns Delivery Agent As Orders Surge On New Year's Eve
After completing three more deliveries, including one to an elderly couple who was celebrating the New Year's eve with their grandchildren, Goyal finally returned to office.
After two years of subdued new year celebrations due to the Covid pandemic, the country welcomed 2023 with great gusto. Food aggregators like Zomato saw a huge surge in orders on New Year’s Eve. Due to heavy rush, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goel himself decided to deliver orders.
To Goyal's surprise, his first delivery was for the Zomato office itself. Overall, he delivered as many as four orders, the Zomato CEO wrote sharing a photo of himself on Twitter.
“Going to deliver a couple of orders on my own right now. Should be back in an hour or so,” tweeted the Zomato co-founder on Saturday evening. “My first delivery brought me back to the zomato office. Lolwut!” his next tweet read.

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