Recently, Zomato shut down a customer in a classy way for cancelling his order because it was assigned to a non-Hindu rider.
Twitter user Amit Shukla expressed his anger over the issue and shared the screenshots of his conversation with Zomato's customer care.
Here's how Zomato responded to this tweet.
Food doesn’t have a religion. It is a religion. https://t.co/H8P5FlAw6y

Zomato founder, Deepinder Goyal echoed the same sentiment.
We are proud of the idea of India - and the diversity of our esteemed customers and partners. We aren’t sorry to lose any business that comes in the way of our values. 🇮🇳 https://t.co/cgSIW2ow9B

Excellent reply to this shit.

although he may create a new one, suspend the account from which he ordered, this fool needs some education 😂

Thanks for taking this stand, Zomato. Giving in to such idiots would only empower them more.

In a world divided over religion, food has the power to unite people.
