Zomato introduces maternity insurance for female delivery partners

India’s food ordering and delivery platform, Zomato has announced the launch of a comprehensive maternity insurance plan for the female delivery partners onboarded with Zomato.

This industry-first initiative underlines Zomato’s commitment to building an inclusive ecosystem for the female delivery partners and providing essential support during this transformative journey.

The insurance plan will cover expenses related to pregnancy consisting of birth and any maternity complication, thereby providing assurance and financial security to such female delivery partners and their families.

The maternity insurance cover is powered by ACKO. It extends to the female delivery partners who have completed 1000 deliveries on the Zomato platform and have been active since the last 60 days on the date of intimation for the maternity insurance plan.

The comprehensive coverage includes normal and cesarean deliveries for up to two children, along with maternity complications such as miscarriage and abortion.

This insurance plan provides up to Rs 25,000 for normal delivery, up to Rs 40,000 for cesarean sections, and up to Rs 40,000 in case of maternity complications such as miscarriage and abortion.

Rakesh Ranjan, CEO, Food Delivery, Zomato, commented, Within our organizational framework, diversity and inclusion are the guiding principles. Our commitment goes beyond the surface-level aspects and extends to every corner and stakeholder of our business, including our delivery partners who play an essential role in our day-to-day operations.”

“Embodying resilience and challenging industry stereotypes, female delivery partners represent a pivotal segment of the Zomato ecosystem. We are continuously working towards ensuring that female delivery partners are not just participants but also beneficiaries of our inclusive policies and initiatives”, Rakesh Ranjan added.

Rakesh further said, “By introducing comprehensive maternity insurance for gig workers, we are looking at providing extra support during our partners’ journey to motherhood, reinforcing our dedication to their welfare and financial security, thereby helping them meet their needs every step of the way.

Zomato is committed to creating a more supportive gig economy. This includes previously announced benefits such as accident insurance, medical coverage, loss of pay support, and ambulance services, all aimed at ensuring the overall well-being of the delivery partners.
