Zomato on Thursday said it has dropped the word “pure” from the name of its new mode, which is meant to cater to the dietary preferences of ‘100% vegetarians’. This mode will now be called “Veg-only Mode”.
Amid fears that this mode, which will have a “dedicated” delivery fleet, will allow users to select delivery partners of a particular community or dietary preference, the company clarified that there will be no such option.
In a post on social media platform X, which came from Zomato’s social media handle, the company said: “Delivery partners onboarded on Zomato will never be discriminated against on the basis of any criteria.” A spokesperson clarified that the “dedicated” fleet of delivery partners will in no way be visually distinguishable from any other delivery partner of the enterprise.
