“We do not put any pressure on delivery partners to deliver food quickly. Nor do we penalize delivery partners for late deliveries. The delivery partners are not informed of the promised time of delivery. Time optimization does not happen on the road and does not put any lives at risk,” he said..
Hello twitter, good morning 🙂
I just want to tell you more about how 10-minute delivery works, and how it is as safe for our delivery partners as 30-minute delivery.
This time, please take 2 minutes to read through this (before the outrage) 😀

However, Twitter did not seem to be pleased with the resolution. After the statement, a backlash followed on social media. While a section of the users were cheered by the fact that now their food will be delivered in no time, other Twitter users were worried about the safety of the delivery boys.
Dhandho uncle, stop exploiting your workers and treat them as humans with dignity

10 min mein Fresh bana kar deliver ho jayega? Why putting risk to life of delivery boy?
Pro 30 min delivery itself was ok, 20 min bacha kar jyadatar log Whatsapp, FB/Twitter par hi to spend karenge?

10 min 🙄
Delivery guy would be coming in a rush, driving bike on a higher speed than usual.
Why to risk someone's life just for few mins delay.
😐
Even if I get a chance to choose 10 min delivery. I am not going to opt for it.
