‘Zomato Copilot.’
Food delivery giant Zomato is breaking recruitment traditions with a revolutionary new move: it has promoted four delivery partners to the position of Product Managers at its Gurugram branch.
Named ‘Zomato Copilot’, this initiative was introduced last month with the aim of making the recruitment process more egalitarian and enable delivery partners to play a role in Zomato’s growth by using their firsthand insights to boost deliveries.
Reportedly, over 6,500 delivery partners participated in this initiative, out of which four “really stood out” and have now been promoted.
Zomato’s CEO Deepinder Goyal took to X (formerly Twitter) to make the announcement and introduce the four new Copilots: Atul, bhijith, Raja and Harshit. He also shared two pictures in his post. In the first image: the four employees are seen wearing red T-shirts with Zomato’s branding; in the second, they are sitting around a table in more casual attire, having a conversation.
Meet our Copilots – Atul, Abhijith, Raja and Harshit! As part of this program, four delivery partners are now working with us as product managers in our Gurugram HQ.
