Mohit Sardana, COO of food delivery platform Zomato, said, “By tying up with Zypp, we are moving towards reducing carbon emissions and using green fuel in the last mile delivery option. We want to make the process of food delivery eco-friendly. That’s why we have tied up with Zip to deliver one lakh vehicles.”
