Later, she reported the incident to Zomato, but she was distressed by the company’s response. Recounting her experience, she said ‘The lady on the call said they would hear the situation from both sides, meaning me and the delivery partner.’

While, criticizing the response, she said “Who in their right mind would bother connecting with Zomato customer care at 1 AM in the morning, not asking for a refund or anything? I just wanted actions to be taken right away. But being a woman, to be asked to ‘wait till further notice’ is disgusting and invalidating.”

Eventually, Zomato took action by terminating the driver and revoked his license. But, the woman still felt unsafe, admitting she is still “paranoid” about the possibility of the driver returning to her address,  however, she has found some reassurance in having legal support. Concluding her shocking ordeal she said, “I won’t say I feel safe now, I still feel unsafe, but they did what they could.”
