Deepinder Goyal, on June 13th, said Zomato broke the Guinness World Record after training a total of 4,300 delivery partners at a single venue on June 12.
When Goyal shared this achievement on X, expressing gratitude to the “Emergency Heroes of India,” his post quickly sparked a range of reactions, including a critical comment from comedian Kunal Kamra.
"Yesterday in Mumbai, we broke the 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝s for the largest first aid lesson at a single venue, together with 4,300 delivery partners. Over 30,000 @zomato delivery partners are now professionally trained to provide medical aid and help during critical roadside emergencies," Goyal wrote on X.
In response to Goyal's post, Kamra questioned the average income and working hours of the company’s delivery partners.
Expressing his dissatisfaction with the working conditions and remuneration at Zomato, he also mocked the Zomato chief for being unaware of the delivery partners’ welfare while being completely informed about the orders.
“Can you declare the no of delivery partners you have with their average income & working hours over the last 3 months? No you can’t But you can tell kgs of biryani ordered in one day. You’re such a hack bro,” he wrote.

Netizens reaction
One user commented, “These platforms treat delivery partners like machines. Caring on social media is just drama,” while another added, “Nice try, but transparency about delivery partners’ conditions matters too. People care about their well-being.”
Another user defended Deepinder Goyal, writing, “Bro, he’s running a successful for-profit business and generating employment for thousands. No one is forced to work there—in fact, if they think they’re being exploited, all they have to do is uninstall the app. It’s that simple. Why so much fuss against someone who’s done far more for the livelihood of thousands than you’d probably do in a thousand lifetimes?”

Why so much khujli against someone who’s…
"Why don't you start your own startup and show us how it's done?" a third user questioned.
Kunal bhai! Love your comedy, love everything about. But don’t understand this tweet. He is running a legitimate business and pretty profitable one. It’s the economy that decides if he is paying less than market value, his workers will go somewhere else. Not sure what’s the issue
