Some sense prevailing finally.

The discrimination on green vs red jerseys makes a lot of sense. Don't want people to judge what you're ordering basis the t-shirt of the rider. That said, still don't get how any of this was casteist. Open to learn from somebody who understands.

The factory which got Green Jersey orders 😭😭😭😭

How does a company of this size do such a fuck up? Somebody is getting fired for sure.

It was a marketing stunt and it worked. People gave them a really nice publicity.

But the issue still remains the same. It doesn't give me the assurance that the food I am getting from a pure veg restaurant will not have the smell of non veg food. Not to offend any kind of eaters, but there have been instances where packaged Veg food has got eggs in it

Imagine the PR disaster if a driver with a red shirt was assaulted because he was carrying non-veg food. I don't understand how companies like Zomato come up with such idiotic ideas.

I pity the PM working on this idea. He/she might have slogged for at least a couple of months ideating and executing and ensuring everything falls in place at the time of GTM, only to be taken aback by internet lashing and then the CEO first backing up but later backing out of the idea and changing it altogether! Tough luck bro/sis!

Having a 100% veg restaurants filter on the app is a huge help for a lot of vegetarians (e.g. my parents) who don't prefer to eat from places which serve both. But yes, a different on-ground fleet wasn't really required. Good that people pointed out the consequences and they took back the decision with lightning speed. Really liked how quickly and well they responded to the backlash.

How was this gonna work where Veg and Non veg both were ordered in the same order? 2 different Fleets?

Unless this entire thing was some marketing stunt, I am surprised they didn't appear to have considered the ramifications of implementing this. I have personally seen apartment complexes that don't like non-vegetarian food beyond delivered. This would definitely have resulted in issues for customers and delivery partners. Wonder if their market research showed an untapped market of vegetarian customers who never order because the bag may also contain non-vegetarian food.

Everyone has many opinions but hats off to their marketing and PR agency!

People can just order from Pure Veg restaurants and that would solve all the problems.

the amount of intolerance the liberals have for others is mind boggling. Dont order you dont like. simple. How it became castiest and all? anyway , let's enjoy kejri show now

Very good inesiative by zomato , hope swiggy copy that
