New Delhi/IBNS: Indians welcomed the New Year with massive orders for snacks, drinks, and even condoms on online platforms.

Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal in a tweet said that 33,440 condoms were ordered on Blinkit, the online grocery delivery firm earlier known as Grofers.

Last year, Zomato had acquired a minority stake in Grofers for USD 100 million. Grofers was later rebranded to Blinkit.

Goyal revealed that one customer ordered 80 condoms in one go.

The Zomato founder added that customers in India ordered 1.3 lakh litres of soda, 43,000 cans of aerated drinks, 7,000 packets of nachos, 4,884 jars of dips, 6,712 tubs of ice creams and 28,240 packs of instant popcorn on Blinkit on New Year’s Eve.

As many as 11,943 ice packs were also ordered on the grocery delivery platform.

On New Year's eve, Blinkit received orders that it usually processes in two weeks, Goyal said.

Blinkit also delivered 10,000 self-test kits for Covid-19, Goyal said.

People celebrated New Year under the shadow of the Omicron variant of coronavirus. Many decided to celebrate the occasion indoors.

As of 7.13 pm on December 31, Zomato was receiving 7,100 orders per minute. Swiggy received over 9,000 orders per minute.

Last New Year’s Eve, Zomato had clocked 4,000 orders per minute, while Swiggy received 5,000.
