Techie Says Zomato Is Selling Rs 10 Water Bottle For Rs 100; Deepinder Goyal's Company Responds

In an exchange between Zomato and an X user, the food delivery app clarified that they are not the ones selling a Rs. 10 bottle of water for Rs. 100. The techie accused them of selling overpriced water at a concert, and took to X to vent his frustration.

What Did Zomato Care Say?

Taking to X, a user named, Pallab De/ @indyan, wrote, "How is @zomato allowed to sell Rs. 10 water bottles for Rs. 100 at concert venues where no one is allowed to bring their own bottles? @VijayGopal_" the user wrote, tagging advocate Vijay Gopal.

Zomato replied and said, “Hi Pallab, we’re sorry for your experience. While we weren’t the event organizers but the ticketing partner, we’ve noted your feedback and will ensure it helps us improve our own events moving forward.”

The user then tagged Eva Live who were the organizers of the event.

X Users React

An individual posted, “This is not fancy; this is outright theft, and everyone should raise their voices against these people.” Another added, “If the MRP is ₹10, sue them.” A third said, “They will change the MRP definition overnight from Maximum to Minimum Retail Price.” Another user took the occasion to criticise PVR for jacking up their prices too, “This is the same thing @_PVRCinemas does, they will confiscate water bottles, and refuse to give it back. Every PVR will have huge collection water bottles collected, and which is not claimed. Some PVRs in Bangalore provides free water filters, I have often wondered, are they worried that are we going to steal their water from filters? LOL!”
