Highlighting the significance of this initiative, Rinshul Chandra, Zomato's COO for Food Ordering & Delivery Business, expressed how the collaboration strengthens their commitment. He emphasized that Zomato's delivery partners now have the advantage of a widespread and accessible array of battery swapping stations, a move that resonates with Zomato's engagement with Climate Group's EV100 campaign.
