It all started when a customer named Vikas tried to get his refund after finding an item missing in the order he made. A call centre agent cited language barrier as an issue and made a personal opinion on why everyone in India should learn Hindi language, a “little” bit. Agitated Vikas captured the screen shot of his chat and uploaded it in his twitter handle which blew up across the country. It led to a twitter trending of hashtag “Reject Zomato”.

Hours after the issue made headlines, Zomato came up with a public note, apologizing to Vikas for what happened and announced that the employee is fired. However, Deepinder Goyal founder of the food delivery app, came up with a tweet commenting on the “tolerance” level of people in our country. He who felt the employee is young and still learning, reinstated her. The tweet stirred controversy again as many people who belong to the Tamil speaking state felt that Deepinder didn’t understand the whole context of the issue.

In his post, Deepinder said that it is not should be the lone reason to terminate the employee and said that it is something she can learn and do something better about going forward. He also informed public that the call centre agents of his company are young and are currently at the starting at the start of their learning curves and careers. Deepinder said that they are not experts in regional sentiments and languages and included himself in that category.

“Having said that, we should all tolerate each other’s imperfections. And appreciate each other’s language and regional sentiments. Tamil Nadu – we love you. Just as much as we love the rest of the country. Not more, not less. We are all the same, as much as we are different.” he added in his tweet which is going viral.

And remember, our call centre agents are young people, who are at the start of their learning curves and careers. They are not experts on languages and regional sentiments. Nor am I, btw.

This tweet from Deepinder created huge outrage among the Tamil nadu based twitter users who started confronting the Zomato founder. “It is not about regional sentiments. It’s about not imposing the language and not judging or lecturing people. Btw don’t give lecture on tolerance to us.” a twitter user replied with many others reacting in a similar way.

What nonsense. A customer friendly business anywhere else on earth wud have fired the insensitive employee , issued a public apology, given the aggrieved party a bunch of freebies and initiated a diversity drive.

— Kasturi Shankar (@KasthuriShankar) October 19, 2021

Now the employer himself reinstates the fired employee and doing his part of schooling to the customer on how they should be tolerant….Interesting…looks like if given the chance even the founder would treat the customer in similar way ….(2/2)

ஏன் சுமந்த் அய்யா உங்களுக்கு தமிழ் மீதும்,தமிழர்கள் மீதும் இவ்வளவு வன்மம்?

— Delta Tamilian (@deltatamilian) October 19, 2021

ஆக மொத்தம் என்றும் தமிழ் மக்களுக்கு ஆதரவு கொடுக்க மனம் வராது?

நீர் உண்ணும் உணவில் தமிழ் இருக்கும்

அதற்கு ஒரு இஞ்ச் அளவாவது நன்றி குடுத்தால் சிறப்பு

இது எல்லாம் பரவாயில்லை, உன்னை போன்ற நயவஞ்சக ஆள் எல்லாம் நடுநிலை என்று நம்பி கொண்டு சிலர் உள்ளர்கள், அவர்களை நினைக்கும் போதுதான்!
