Zomato has addressed recent claims that a delivery partner from Meerut earned only Rs 300 after working for more than six hours on Diwali, calling the reports inaccurate. The food delivery platform clarified that the delivery partner did not work on Diwali, and his actual earnings were Rs 695 for six hours of work on October 30.

In an official statement, Zomato expressed concern over the misleading reports. "Recent articles around one of our delivery partners from Meerut earning Rs 300 for working more than six hours on the day of Diwali were inaccurate and disturbing to us," the company said.

Zomato clarified that the delivery partner worked for six hours on October 30 and not on Diwali as claimed in earlier reports. During this time, the company asserted that the deliver guy delivered 10 orders and earned Rs 695 and not Rs 300. On the same day, the platform confirmed that the other delivery partners in Meerut who worked an average of 10 hours earned between Rs 1200 and Rs 1300.

The false report initially surfaced after a Zomato delivery agent, Ritik Tomar, shared an Instagram reel that documented his experience working part-time in Meerut on Diwali. In the video, Ritik captured scenes of his delivery route and festive streets, sharing how his shift started at 5 PM and ended at 11 PM. He claimed to have completed eight orders, earning Rs 316 for his work that evening.

The reel quickly gained popularity online, amassing over 5.5 million views. While many viewers applauded the hard work of delivery personnel during the festive season, Zomato's clarification now sets the record straight, showing that the income figures reported in the video do not reflect the actual earnings of the delivery partner.
