Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal, who had for a brief period rushed around delivering orders on Saturday, revealed that the number of orders delivered via the company on New Year's Eve was more than the orders they had delivered during the first three years of Zomato's delivery service.
Taking to Twitter, Goyal wrote, "Fun fact: orders delivered today greater than sum of all orders delivered in the first 3 years of our food delivery service."
Earlier, Goyal shared details of the war room at the Zomato office during the New Year Eve's rush.
He shared glimpses from the Zomato office on Instagram this afternoon, where a seemingly endless supply of energy drink Red Bull and chocolate bars has been arranged to make sure “that the team doesn’t run out of glucose and caffeine today.”
But in an apparent anti-climax, the first order was to be delivered in the Zomato office itself.
Goyal had live-tweeted through New Year’s Eve last year, when the number of orders placed on the Zomato app hit an all-time high. Zomato delivered more than 2 million orders on December 31, 2021.
This New Year’s Eve, there was a 30 to 35 per cent increase in the volume of orders as compared to December 31, 2021, The Economic Times reported quoting people familiar with the matter.
