Food delivery companies introduce Bluetooth-enabled helmets for enhanced safety

The tech era has become a major concern, with more people diving into technological pursuits.

Alongside this, road accidents are a significant worry.

Addressing this issue, the food delivery app Zomato has declared in New Delhi that it will provide helmets with Bluetooth functionality to all its delivery partners.

During the recent 'India’s Emergency Heroes' event on the 'X' platform, Zomato, in the presence of Nitin Gadkari, the Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, bestowed first responder training upon 2,500+ delivery partners.
