A Bengaluru entrepreneur ordered a Navratri special thali on Swiggy and was surprised to get an Eid-related discount.
Several food delivery apps and brands offer exclusive discounts for various festivals across the country.
Sharing her experience on social media platform X, Bengaluru-based Udita Pal said while she was trying to order a Navratri special thali on the food delivery service Swiggy, she was offered an Eid-related discount.
In her post on X, Udita Pal wrote: “Food knows no religion”, along with a heart emoticon.
She also shared a screenshot of her Swiggy app. It shows her order, “Navratri Special Thali”, with “EID125″ as the discount option.
