Independence Day 2025: Zomato Announces...

Independence Day celebrations are in full swing — as they should be — and Zomato has clearly joined the party with a platter of patriotism and perks. The food delivery giant has rolled out an offer that’s as easy on the wallet as it is tempting for the taste buds. Gold members now get free delivery on orders above ₹99, down from the earlier ₹199, plus the Gold membership itself is just ₹1 from August 14 to 17. The Zomato app is officially in festive mode, and honestly, we should be too.

But this isn’t just about cheaper biryani runs or guilt-free dessert splurges. According to Aditya Mangla, chief executive of Zomato’s food delivery business Eternal, lowering the delivery threshold is a way to “make online ordering more rewarding” while giving a boost to partner restaurants during the season. Basically, it’s a win-win — your cravings are satisfied and your local eateries get some Independence Day love too.

The patriotic energy doesn’t stop there. Earlier this month, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal went full motivational speaker, urging India to dream big and take concrete steps toward becoming a global superpower. His message? Stop being modest, start being magnetic — in economics, defense, technology, and sheer self-belief. X users were quick to agree, with comments like, “It’s not about retaliation, it’s about evolution,” and “We’ve been modest for too long. It’s time to lead.”

So whether you’re celebrating with free delivery or planning your empire-building strategy, the vibe is clear — this Independence Day is about thinking bigger, eating better, and maybe, just maybe, believing a little harder in what’s possible.
