New Delhi: Online food delivery platform Zomato knows how to spin a funny twist around days and events. This Valentine’s Day, Zomato is playing the role of cupid, but that’s not as simple as you thought. 

Zomato has become match-finder for food lovers on Valentine’s Day, but it’s not what you have thought actually. The match making that the online food delivery platform is engaging in, is to find the food match for you.

Zomato’s Matchmaking Feature –How To Use

Gross order value (GOV) across its B2C businesses grew 47 per cent YoY to Rs 12,886 crore. On an annualised basis, Zomato crossed Rs 50,000 crore of GOV in its B2C businesses.

“Our consolidated topline (adjusted revenue) continues to grow meaningfully above our stated expectation of 40 per cent+ YoY. In fact, at this point, we expect the topline to continue growing at 50 per cent+ YoY,” said Deepinder Goyal, Zomato co-founder and CEO.
