A day after an incident involving a delivery person with food delivery app Zomato, #BoycottUberEats trended on Twitter because the brand supported their competitor. Zomato had come in for praise after they stood by a delivery person from whom a man refused to accept food delivery from because he was a non-Hindu' rider. Many came forward to extend their support to the food delivery service. On Thursday, Uber Eats tweeted: "@ZomatoIN, we stand by you." in response to one of the tweets by their competitor. Zomato replied with a hug emoji: 🤗 — Zomato India (@ZomatoIN) July 31, 2019 But this prompted a new trend of #BoycottUberEats. Backing the man who refused to accept the delivery, many shared videos claiming that they had uninstalled both Zomato and Uber from their phones. Before ! And after ! #boycottzomato #BoycottUberEats @UberEats_IND @ZomatoIN pic.twitter.com/Th1fNwrh1l — DarKastic Dhiraj (@Dhiraj1502) August 1, 2019 I am waiting for more brands to show their true colours like Amazon and recently Uber eats & #Zomato shows!!
