Zomato was in the news week after the company defended its decision to not change the delivery executive for a user over the rider's religion. The user didn't want a "non-Hindu" rider and cancelled his order after the service refused to change the delivery person. After the user voiced his complaint on Twitter, Zomato tweeted, "Food doesn't have a religion. It is a religion." Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal also pitched in by saying that Zomato doesn't regret losing the business of such customers. Although a number of Twitter users praised the company for its decision, there were a significant number of replies by Twitter users to Zomato's tweet who think otherwise.
