๐จBreaking News๐จ: Zomato's green uniform for "pure veg fleet" is no more! ๐ฑ CEO Deepinder Goyal announced that all delivery partners will now wear the standard red uniform, regardless of the order type they are delivering. ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐๐ฅ
But fear not, veggie lovers! ๐ฅฆ The app will still indicate that vegetarian orders will be served exclusively by the vegetarian-only fleet, but this fleet will not be identifiable by uniform color on the ground. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
Goyal emphasized that the change was made to prevent any incorrect association of the red uniform delivery partners with non-vegetarian food, which could lead to them being blocked by resident welfare associations (RWAs) or societies during special days. ๐ซ๐
Zomato's initial announcement of the "Pure Veg Fleet" and "Pure Veg Mode" had triggered criticism on social media, with concerns raised about potential discrimination against non-vegetarian delivery partners and the impact on their safety and livelihood. ๐ฃ๐ค
Goyal assured that Zomato is willing to roll back the new initiative if it leads to significant negative social repercussions. ๐
