Zomato defends Hrithik Roshan ad, says aimed to make delivery agents 'the hero'

After days of receiving negative feedback on social media, food ordering and delivery platform Zomato has finally responded to the company's latest advertisements featuring Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif.

The company has released a statement where they have defended the latest ads and also addressed some of the issues that viewers had with them.

“We believe that our ads are well-intentioned, but were unfortunately misinterpreted by some people," the statement by Zomato reads. Responding to criticism, the delivering platform asserted that the ads were conceptualised six months ago even before “any social media chatter around gig worker payouts or working conditions” came up.

Further, in its statement, Zomato asserted the main focus of these advertisements was to make delivery partners the hero of the ads. They also wanted to highlight that common people should talk respectfully to delivery partners and raise the level of dignity associated with them. Finally, they wanted to showcase that every customer is a star for its company.

Check out the statement below:

Btw, if you are missing context, here are the TV ads we are talking about – https://t.co/mj8MB9WlKXhttps://t.co/tiHS3OAO7a

(adding this here for UX, not marketing).

— zomato (@zomato) August 30, 2021

Days ago, Zomato released two ads on a similar idea; one where Katrina Kaif asks the Zomato delivery partner to wait for a few minutes for a piece of her birthday cake. As she goes to get it for him, the delivery partner’s phone pings with a notification for another food order that needs to be delivered. Following this, he leaves the place.

The second ad also comes with a similar concept, where a Zomato delivery partner is shocked to know that he came to deliver an order and sees Hrithik Roshan face to face. As the Krrish actor asks him to wait for a selfie, the delivery partner's phone rings for another order to be delivered. Following this, the delivery partner happily forgoes his chance for a selfie with Roshan.

Ever since these ads have been released on social media, they were slammed and criticized for being tone-deaf after unfair treatment of gig workers have come under scrutiny.

Seven people were killed in a car crash in Bengaluru, including the son and daughter-in-law of a Tamil Nadu MLA, in the early hours of Tuesday. Karuna Sagar, the son of DMK MLA Y Prakash, and his wife Bindu were killed in the car crash.

According to police, the accident happened in the Koramangala area between 1 and 2 am. An Audi Q3, with a VIP license plate, carrying seven passengers, none of whom were wearing seatbelts, went over a footpath and crashed into the building of a Punjab National Bank branch. CCTV footage shows the car smashing into the wall with great speed, leading to one of its wheel flying off.

According to police, the accident happened because the driver lost control over the car. All passengers were in their twenties and are believed to be out on a joyride. According to reports, the airbags did not deploy on impact.

The crash led to the car being completely wrecked. The front part of the vehicle was mangled due to the impact of the accident.

While six people, including three women, died on the spot, one person died in the hospital.  While Sagar and his wife were identified as two of the casualties, further confirmation is awaited for the identities of other passengers.

Joint commissioner of police (traffic) Ravikanthe Gowda said that prima facie evidence suggests that the car was being driven in a rash and negligent manner. Gowda added that the police were “yet to know” if the passengers were drunk.

The bodies have been shifted for post-mortem to St John’s hospital. A case of negligent and rash driving has been registered by Adugodi traffic police.

In a first, 9 Supreme Court judges take oath in one go; working strength goes up to 33

Nine new judges, including three women, were on Tuesday administered oath of office as judges of the Supreme Court, taking its strength to 33.

It is for the first time in the history of the apex court that nine judges took oath of office at one go.

Chief Justice of India N V Ramana administered the oath of office to the new judges in a swearing-in ceremony held in the auditorium of the Supreme Court's additional building complex.

With the swearing-in of the nine new judges, the strength of the Supreme Court has risen to 33, including the Chief Justice of India, out of the sanctioned strength of 34.

The nine new judges who were administered oath of office as apex court judges include Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka, Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Jitendra Kumar Maheshwari, Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B V Nagarathna.

#WATCH | Justice Hima Kohli takes oath as a judge of the Supreme Court in Delhi

— ANI (@ANI) August 31, 2021

Besides them, Justice C T Ravikumar, Justice M M Sundresh, Justice Bela M Trivedi and Justice P S Narasimha, who was a senior advocate and former Additional Solicitor General, were also administered oath of office by the CJI.

Justice Nagarathna, the daughter of former CJI E S Venkataramiah, is in line to become the first woman CJI in September 2027.

Three out of these nine new judges -- Justices Nath, Nagarathna and Narasimha -- are also in line to become the CJI.

Traditionally, the oath of office to new judges is administered in the CJI's court room but the swearing-in ceremony was shifted to the auditorium keeping in view the need for strict adherence to COVID-19 norms, a press release issued by the apex court's public relations office on Monday had said.

Before the administration of oath of office, the warrant of appointment issue by President Ram Nath Kovind was read during the swearing-in ceremony.

Justice Nath is in line to become the CJI upon retirement of sitting apex court judge Justice Surya Kant in February 2027.

Justice Nath would be succeeded by Justice Nagarathna, who would have a tenure of over a month as the head of the judiciary.

Justice Narasimha would succeed Justice Nagarathna as the CJI and would have a tenure of over six months.

The apex court collegium had on 17 August recommended these nine names for appointment as judges of the top court.

Later, the President had signed the warrants of their appointment as apex court judges.

The top court, which came into being on 26 January 1950, has seen very few women judges since its inception and in the last over 71 years has appointed only eight lady judges starting from M Fathima Beevi in 1989.

Presently, Justice Indira Banerjee was the lone serving woman judge in the apex court after her elevation on 7 August 2018 from the Madras High Court where she was serving as the Chief Justice.

While high court judges retire at the age of 62, the retirement age of Supreme Court judges is 65.

The recommendation of these nine names by the five-member collegium headed by CJI Ramana at its meeting on 17 August had put an end to the 21-month-long logjam over appointment of new judges to the top court.

The impasse over the appointment had led to a situation in which not a single name for the judgeship in the apex court could be recommended after the superannuation of then CJI Ranjan Gogoi on 17 November 2019.
