A 36-year-old delivery executive of Zomato named Salil Tripathi was killed in a road accident last week. The founder of the food delivery company Deepinder Goyal said on Thursday that his team will help the family of Tripathi and will also give a job to his wife.

The Zomato founder tweeted on Thursday that the employees have contributed 12 lakh rupees to help Tripathi's family in addition to the 10 lakh rupees as insurance cover. Goyal's note read, "After the family is past grieving, we will make every effort to provide a job to Salil’s wife Sucheta (depending on whether she wants it), so that she can run her household and support her 10-year-old son’s education going forward."
