Zomato's birthday surprise for Gaurav Taneja sparks online debate!

    Share on

YouTuber Gaurav Taneja (Flying Beast) went public on July 10 after his Zomato birthday cake delivery was cancelled due to heavy rains in Gurugram. To make amends, Zomato sent a handcrafted hamper featuring chai goodies, family treats, balloons, and a heartfelt apology note, also cheekily including a flask - since it was Zomato’s birthday too.

The note read: “Dear Flying Beast… You’ve always shown us so much love… here's a chai hamper brewed with care… little surprise for Mumma, Papa, Dadu, and Dadi… and a flask… P.S. next time cheesecake bhi time pe hoga. Pakka. Pinky promise.” 

His post went viral, driving polarized online reactions. Many praised Zomato for going the extra mile; others criticized the "influencer privilege", pointing out that average users often receive only a ₹75 refund coupon for cancellations .

This incident highlights a recurring question in customer service: Should influencers receive preferential treatment? Zomato's gesture - though well-meaning - has ignited conversations about equity, brand behavior, and public perception.
