The picture oozes positive vibes from the delivery agent, who seemed to be quite gleeful while he was being clicked, giving a wide smile for the camers.
The picture seems to have moved even Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal, who reposted the Tweet on his official microblogging X (Twitter) handle.
Meanwhile, Zomato had in January announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Zomato Payments Private Limited (ZPPL) has been granted a certificate of authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an ‘Online Payment Aggregator’.
“We wish to inform that ZPPL has been granted a certificate of authorisation dated January 24, 2024, from the RBI to operate as an ‘Online Payment Aggregator’ in India with effect from January 24, 2024, as per the guidelines issued by the RBI,” Zomato said in an exchange filing.
The authorisation came into effect from January 24. With this, Zomato Payments has expanded its role beyond food delivery and restaurant discovery into the realm of digital payments.
