New Year’s Eve has been the busiest day for food delivery companies. On this day, food delivery companies receive the largest number of orders as compared to any other day of the year. Over the years, Zomato and Swiggy have been sharing updates and funny tweets about the vast number of orders they have received on new year’s eve.

This year, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal took it far by becoming a delivery partner himself. Yes! He dressed up as a Zomato Delivery partner in the company’s red jersey with Zomato written on it and went to deliver a food box himself.
Going to deliver a couple of orders on my own right now. Should be back in an hour or so.

He shared a picture of himself in which he is seen wearing the Zomato jersey and carrying a food delivery box. He looks all happy and excited while carrying the food box. The Zomato CEO discovered later that the order he was supposed to deliver was made by one of his office members at Zomato.

“My first delivery brought me back to the Zomato office. Lolwut!” he tweeted.
While his staff was working tirelessly at the Zomato office, Goyal was present there to provide all the cheer and motivation.
Back in office. Delivered 4 orders; one of them to an elderly couple celebrating NYE with their grandchildren ♥️

Also, orders are not slowing down. High stress environment in the office. Glad I was away for the last 90 minutes 🤓

According to Goyal, Zomato had already surpassed the previous year’s orders per minute by 6:40 pm, and by 6:52 pm a total of 16,512 biryanis were en route to their delivery destinations.
Fun fact: orders delivered today >> sum of all orders delivered in the first 3 years of our food delivery service.
