This video evoked funny banter among social media users, a few of whom referred to platform fees charged by these apps.
“Remember that platform fee you pay,” said one of the Instagram users.
“Dekho 6 rupee platform fee se kya hota hain (see, this is what happens with ₹6 platform fees),” added another
Another user commented, “Fir mujhe kyu hamesha bike wale delivery dene aate h (then why do I always get deliveries from bike riders).”
“Jab itna paisa hai to delivery waale ko bhi health insurance dedo? Ya PF dedo (Now that you have so much money, why not give the delivery guy health insurance or a provident fund)?” one of the users said.
“He can buy it. Charging platform fee from customers and deducting gig cancellation fee and no show fee from delivery partners. He makes much money from looting,” a comment read.
“Boys made it,” said another user.
According to media reports, both food delivery platforms, Zomato and Swiggy, raised their platform fees by 20 per cent to ₹6 in selected regions from July 14, up from the previous charge of ₹5.
Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal was named the second richest person in Gurugram, according to Hurun India Rich List 2024. Goyal’s net worth is estimated at around a whopping ₹9,300 crore.
