“Emerging cities are a major growth avenue for us and we expect them to constitute more than 50 per cent of our total order volume by the end of the year,” Zomato Founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal said.
As the company grows, it is also trying to create value for everyone in the ecosystem, he added.
“With 1.8 lakh delivery partners, we are creating jobs and skill-building opportunities for many in India. We are developing Zomato Kitchen hubs in smaller cities in India to drive growth for our restaurant partners,” Goyal said.
