Zomato to start online grocery delivery service on its app again 

Zomato had announced its plans of venturing into grocery delivery ahead of the launch of its initial public offering (IPO) that will be out on July 14. 

During the first phase of Covid-induced lockdown in 2020, Zomato had started delivering groceries as the restaurants were shut. But as soon as the lockdown was lifted, Zomato had resumed delivering food. However, the food-deliver giant now plans to start online delivery of groceries all over again. Zomato had announced its plans of venturing into grocery delivery ahead of the launch of its initial public offering (IPO) that will be out on July 14. “Last year, when we did grocery, it was a need of the hour for our customers. People were not using food delivery and needed grocery in their homes to be able to cook all the food at home. And we, because of our network, enabled that quickly to serve our customers. Now, we'll be coming back to see, as an attempt of experimenting to see how we can build this hyper-local part of the business,” Zomato co-founder Gaurav Gupta had said during a virtual conference.
