On Thursday, food delivery firm Zomato announced the launch of ‘The Shelter Project’ to support the gig economy and delivery partners of other companies. In this project, the company will build public infrastructure called Rest Points that would offer clean drinking water, phone-charging stations, washrooms, high-speed internet, 24*7 helpdesk and first aid support. 

In a blog post, the company said, “We believe that by providing a space for all delivery partners to rest, recharge and take a moment for themselves, we can create a better environment that promotes their physical and mental health.”

Currently, Zomato has two rest points in Gurugram and the company is planning to create such more. 

The CEO of the company Deepinder Goyal’s tweet quickly went viral and received widespread praise from netizens. Announcing ‘The Shelter Project’ – we’ve started building public infrastructure (Rest Points) to support the well being of delivery partners of various companies”, the tweet said.
