In 2024, Zomato processed three quarters of a billion food delivery orders for 18.5 million monthly transacting users in India. This $25+ Billion giant (as of May 2025) is one of Asia's biggest food delivery company. In 2024, Zomato's app connected users to a restaurant network of 240,000+ establishments. Once an order is placed, Zomato's delivery partners (network of 400,000+ individuals) collect the meal and deliver it to the user.
Zomato now handles ~11,000,000 (11 million) tickets monthly through Nugget.

At this scale, customer support is far more complex than resolving a delivery issue. Every delayed order, damaged package, refund request, restaurant query, and delivery partner concern becomes a real-time operational challenge that demands speed, accuracy, and consistency. With millions of customer interactions spanning multiple stakeholders and channels every month, Zomato needed a support ecosystem that could scale with its business without compromising customer experience.
