Zomato customer orders 125 roomali rotis on New Year's Eve, CEO Deepinder Goyal reacts

Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal took to social media to share an unusual New Year's Eve order that a customer in Kolkata placed. The customer ordered a whopping 125 roomali rotis, sparking curiosity and amusement online.

Goyal posted about the order on X (formerly Twitter), writing, "Really want to attend the party in Kolkata - where someone just ordered 125 items in a single order." The post quickly went viral, garnering over 360,000 views.

One user questioned how many delivery drivers would be needed to handle such a large order. Goyal jokingly replied that only one driver would be needed as all 125 items were roomali rotis, a thin flatbread commonly found in Indian cuisine.

Goyal's post was just one of many he shared on New Year's Eve, keeping followers updated on Zomato's operations during the busy holiday period. He also posted pictures of the company's "war room", a conference room where employees monitored orders and ensured smooth delivery throughout the night.

The "war room" post received over 590,000 views and mixed reactions from users. Some praised Zomato's efforts to keep up with high demand, while others expressed concerns about the working conditions of delivery drivers during peak times.

The 125-roomali-roti order was certainly an outlier, but it highlighted the growing popularity of online food delivery in India. Zomato and other platforms have become an integral part of how people celebrate and socialize, especially during festive occasions.
