We are deeply grateful to NIQ for their research expertise and to Social Compact and Jan Pahal for their insights in creating the Delivery Partner Wellbeing Framework. This collective effort is a significant step toward making the wellbeing of delivery partners an institutional priority.”

Commenting on the report, Aditya Mangla, Chief Executive Officer, Zomato, said, “Our delivery partners aren’t at the edge of Zomato – they’re at the core. This survey gives us their unfiltered voice: clear, candid and sometimes uncomfortable. That’s the kind of truth we need. It gives us accountability, and it gives us direction. And acting on it is not optional for us – it’s the commitment we owe them.“

To support its delivery partners, Zomato has, over the years, introduced various initiatives, including 24/7 SOS ambulance services available in over 800 cities, First Responder training, assistance with income tax filing and facilitation of EV rental services.
