One thing that makes Zomato different from any other brand in India is its timing of classy posts and replies on Twitter. The food-delivery giant is known for starting its own trends on the micro-blogging sites from time to time. This gives free marketing to Zomato as platforms cover their content giving the company online reach of millions.
What happened recently is a Twitter user tweeted to Zomato about cancelling an order because of sending non-Hindu delivery. “Just cancelled an order on @ZomatoIN they allocated a non hindu rider for my food they said they can’t change rider and can’t refund on cancellation I said you can’t force me to take a delivery I don’t want don’t refund just cancel.” the caption read.

According to Amit Shukla, he didn’t want his food to be delivered by a non-Hindu person he canceled the order and didn’t even take a refund for it.
Zomato gave an epic reply to him “Food doesn’t have a religion. It is a religion.”

Thanks for taking this stand, Zomato. Giving in to such idiots would only empower them more.
