Zomat CEO, Deepinder Goyal reached out to Xu to issue a clarification on the viral video of a woman riding a bicycle while wearing a food delivery company’s t-shirt and carrying a food delivery bag.

It all started when user X tweeted a viral video of a woman wearing a Zomato T-shirt and carrying the company’s food delivery bag while riding a bike. Along with the video, he said, “Indore #Zomato head of marketing had this idea. He hired a model to drive around with an empty Zomato bag for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. @zomato is in the game.”
After the tweet went viral, Deepinder Goyal shared Zomat’s stand on the video. He retweeted the video and wrote: “Hey! We had absolutely nothing to do with this. We do not support cycling without a helmet. Also, we don’t have a ‘Indore Marketing Head’. This seems to be someone who is just ‘free riding’ our brand. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with women delivering food – we have hundreds of women delivering food every day to support their families, and we are proud of their work ethic.”
