The timing of this collaboration couldn't be more perfect. Zomato's recent turn towards profitability has been met with positive acclaim. On August 3rd, Zomato reported its first-ever profit since its 2021 listing.

This newfound profitability, combined with Zomato's dedication to maintaining sustainable growth, underlines the significance of the partnership with Battery Smart.
India's food delivery market heavily relies on two-wheelers for swift and efficient service. However, this reliance presents an immense opportunity for electrification.

With both companies synergizing their expertise and resources, the partnership not only elevates the quality of service but also drives positive change in the food delivery industry. With Zomato's visionary goal of complete EV adoption by 2030 and Battery Smart's innovative battery-swapping solutions, the future of greener deliveries looks promising and tantalizingly within reach.
