Several Twitter users shared their concerns regarding workplace safety with Khandelwal’s unconventional approach to getting the job done. A Twitter user said, “Is it just me who finds this absolutely ludicrous and crazy? Is it so easy to pretend to be Zomato/Swiggy’s delivery boy? Imagine the security implications here.”

“Bhai kuch bhi kar lena startup join mat karna. Sala dream unka hota hai le tumhari lete hain apne dream ko pura karne ke liye aur jaise hi kuch bana firr aapko tata bye bye,” another Twitter users said.
“They delivered in startups, so there is not that much security anyway. One can easily walk in even in casuals,” said another user.
Zomato is yet to comment on the incident. However, other companies are trying to capitalize on the phenomenon with cheeky replies. For example, Dunzo said, this sweet gesture has definitely raised the bar! Best wishes for your application 🙂 PS: We also enjoy Khaman Dhokla.”
