Not only this, the food delivery app marked its 16th birthday with a quirky full-page advertisement in a leading daily which captured the attention of online users, including Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma. Featuring a large photograph of Zomato’s founder and CEO, Deepinder Goyal along with smaller size images of the company’s top executives, the ad carried a heartfelt message in Hindi thanking customers for their support over the years.

The text read, “16th janamdin par aap sabhi ko apna pyar barsane ke liye koti koti dhanyawad (On our 16th birthday, a big thanks to all of you for showering us with love).” As a part of celebration, Zomato offered a special deal: a 6-month Zomato Gold membership for just Rs 30.

Impressed by the creative advertisement, Sharma congratulated Zomato on their milestone. Sharing a snapshot of newspaper ad on X (formerly Twitter), Sharma wrote in Hindi, “On the 16th birthday of Zomato, heartiest congratulations to the chief Mr Deepinder ji and all the members of his executive! May God grant us such praiseworthy advertisements always.”
