In a recent social media update, Goyal highlighted the need for this program, citing survey findings that revealed over 60% of Zomato’s delivery partners lack knowledge of basic financial instruments like fixed deposits (FDs).
He wrote on X, “As a step to improve financial awareness among delivery partners onboarded on @zomato, I am glad to announce our partnership with @NSEIndia. Together we will host financial literacy workshops pan-India to educate the delivery partner community on nuances of personal finance management. In our surveys, we’ve realised that more than 60% delivery partners are unaware of basic financial instruments like FDs.”
He added, “On 22nd October, we held our first educational workshop in Hyderabad, where 2,000+ delivery partners voluntarily participated. These workshops are specially curated to suit their needs. I hope these sessions act as a foundation for all our delivery partners to manage, save and grow their finances and assist them on their path to financial independence.”
According to Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal, these workshops are customised to meet the specific needs of delivery partners, many of whom are engaged in gig roles and may not have had prior access to financial education.
