In a bid to improve the safety of its delivery partners, Zomato on Thursday announced that it will distribute Bluetooth-enabled helmets to all of them. Currently, it has over 300,000 delivery partners across India.

At its “India’s Emergency Heroes” program at Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi, the company said that in 2022-23, it distributed over 250,000 wearable assets to its delivery partners. These included adding reflector strips on jackets for night visibility.

The company said, “Contributing to the well-being of both the delivery professionals and the communities they serve, through this initiative, Zomato aims to create awareness amongst all delivery partners with respect to vital skills to prevent serious injury or loss of life during medical emergency situations.”
