Happy New Year 2025! From going out on dinners to ordering food for a house party, many people made special plans with friends and family to ring in the New Year. No party is complete without good food and with the rise of quick food delivery platforms, many people do not stock food items in advance and place orders during the party time, as required. Several delivery platforms such as Blinkit, Swiggy, and Zepto shared data on food orders during New Year's Eve. Take a look:
Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa revealed the biggest party order was placed from Kolkata worth Rs 64,988.
