Showing his enthusiasm for both friendship and delicious food, Goyal posted pictures of the special «best food friends forever» bands on Twitter.

This isn't the first time; Goyal has at times stepped into the role of a Zomato delivery person.Zomato recently celebrated a significant milestone as it posted its first-ever profit since its inception in 2008. On August 3, the foodtech firm announced a net profit of Rs 2 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

Following the path of its competitor Swiggy, Zomato is introducing a «platform fee» of Rs 2 per order. This fee is irrespective of the order value.

Presently, the additional charges are being tested with select users and have not yet been implemented on Blinkit, Zomato's quick-commerce platform. Zomato clarified in a pop-up notification that the fee is a «small fee that helps us pay the bills so that we can keep Zomato running.»
