What's the story
Zomato has announced a strategic partnership with NSE India to promote financial literacy among its delivery partners. The initiative will see nationwide workshops being conducted specifically for this community. The move comes after recent surveys revealed that over 60% of Zomato's delivery partners, are unaware of basic financial instruments such as fixed deposits (FDs).
