Swiggy, Zomato 'misusing position': Eateries in petition
About 500 small and mid-sized restaurants have filed a petition alleging "misuse of dominant position" by foodtech companies including Swiggy, Zomato, Uber Eats and Foodpanda. Restaurants accused the companies of using deep-discounting, in-house kitchens and internal sourcing to take away their business. "Discounts are merely a mechanism to encourage user participation," Zomato said in response.
