Zomato Reinstates Agent In Customer Row, Adds "Tamil Nadu, We Love You"

Within hours of restaurant aggregator and food delivery company Zomato sacking an employee for calling a customer from Tamil Nadu a "liar" and urging him to "learn Hindi", the company founder tweeted saying they are reinstating the person underscoring that the "level of tolerance and chill" needs to be much higher in the country.

For good effect, company founder Deepinder Goyal added "Tamil Nadu, We love you".

A tweet from a user who goes by the handle "@Vikash67456607" triggered a major Twitter backlash, with the hashtag "Reject_Zomato" becoming a top trend.

The company, in its detailed statement, tried to soften the hurt with a Vanakkam, a Tamil greeting and urged people not to reject Zomato.
