Zomato’s Heartfelt Post to Swiggy’s IPO: A ‘Jai-Veeru’ Bond in the Business World!
Zomato extended a playful yet heartfelt gesture towards its competitor Swiggy on the latter’s IPO debut, leaving social media users reminiscing about the iconic bond between Jai and Veeru from *Sholay*. On X (formerly Twitter), Zomato posted a meme celebrating Swiggy’s successful market debut, alongside the caption: “You and I… In this beautiful world,” with a red heart emoji.
The shared meme depicted two delivery agents—one in Zomato’s uniform and the other in Swiggy’s—gazing at the Bombay Stock Exchange building, where “Now listed: Swiggy” flashed on the LED display. Swiggy responded on X with a lighthearted comment: “It’s giving Jai and Veeru vibes.”
The post quickly gained traction, with X users sharing their amused reactions. One user humorously suggested a merger between the two giants, creating a “monopoly with pricing power,” while others expressed their appreciation for the friendly competition. “Ye bhaichaara mujhe pasand aaya” (I liked this brotherhood), one commented. Another user wrote, “Wow, truce for today!”
Swiggy’s IPO made a strong debut, with its shares opening at ₹420 on the NSE, a 7.69% rise from the issue price of ₹390, and at ₹412 on the BSE. The company completed its IPO allotment on November 11, with shares credited to demat accounts on November 12.
