identified through an Enterprise Risk Management
exercise, which includes identifying risk owners and

monitored & tracked and results are reported to the
RMC on a periodic basis.

Additionally, risk management procedures are driven
by the Governance, Risk & Compliance team within the
organisation. These include periodic identification,
assessment and prioritisation of key operational,
financial, strategic and regulatory risks followed by
coordinated efforts to mitigate these. A risk register
is being maintained and periodically updated to make
sure that risks are tracked and mitigated effectively.

ii. Risk and concerns

Key risks identified for Zomato on a standalone basis -
1. Brand reputation

Zomato may face a loss of brand perception and
reputation due to several factors, including negative
publicity or feedback on various platforms. This
can be a result of dissatisfied customers, incidents
that generate unfavourable public attention, due to
copyright infringement related matters, intellectual
property conflicts, or plagiarism among others and
may have an impact on overall brand perception.

Zomato has implemented a set of branding guidelines
to ensure accurate and consistent branding and
publicity across all channels. To monitor and address
negative publicity across platforms, Zomato has
a dedicated public relations team which tracks
and monitors public sentiment and feedback.
Through these measures, Zomato demonstrates
its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its
brand, proactively managing negative publicity, and
protecting its intellectual property.

2. Customer experience

Customer experience on the Zomato platform
may be impacted due to multiple factors including
non availability or delay of services in certain
situations, inadequate quality of service provided by
merchant / restaurant partner or delivery partners
and inconsistent pricing, amongst others. In order
to enhance the customer experience, customer
complaints related to the quality of items are
conveyed to the merchant / restaurant partner.
Customers also have the option to provide reviews
and ratings for restaurant partners on the platform
which are visible to everyone logging on to the Zomato
app. Periodic training is also conducted for delivery
partners to improve overall delivery experience for
our customers.

3. Technology

Services on the Zomato platform may be disrupted
due to various factors, including app downtime,
inadequate technology infrastructure to handle high
traffic volumes, inability to adapt to changes and
cyber security threats. In order to manage these
risks, the Company has dedicated teams and defined
frameworks in place. Regular testing and maintenance
is also conducted to assess the effectiveness and
readiness of our app against such risks. The Company
has also implemented cyber security tools to further
strengthen its technology infrastructure.

4. Stakeholder management

We may not be able to fully manage expectations of
some of our stakeholders including grievances of
key stakeholders, such as customers, merchants,
and delivery partners. Customer preferences are
dynamic in nature and failure in keeping up with
these emerging trends can result in loss of trust or
dissatisfaction which may have a negative impact
on the Company. To address grievances effectively,
Zomato has dedicated tools and teams in place. These
resources track, monitor, and resolve complaints
across various communication channels including
real-time chat / call support through the Zomato app.
For unresolved issues, stakeholders can directly write
to us through designated email addresses which are
available on the Zomato website. Additionally, Zomato
offers an SOS Help Desk service which provides
immediate assistance to delivery partners in case of
emergencies.

5. People management

Ability to attract, retain top talent and succession
challenges may limit our ability to achieve operational
targets. In order to mitigate these risks, Zomato
has documented a policy on succession planning
for the Board and critical management positions.
Zomato has also developed an Equal Opportunity,
Diversity, and Inclusion policy to promote a culture
of diversity, equity and inclusion. This policy aims to
foster, nurture, and sustain a diverse and inclusive
environment within the organization. As part of these
efforts, Zomato has introduced various initiatives,
including equal parental leaves and period leaves,
among others.

6. Product innovation

Lack of product innovation can result in Zomato's
offerings becoming less relevant compared to
other market players as customer preferences
are dynamic in nature and keep on evolving. This
can lead to a negative impact on the Company. We
remain committed to enhancing overall stakeholder
experience with a focus on driving long-term
engagement through innovation. Zomato continuously
collects feedback from various stakeholders to
improve its offerings. Zomato also has a process in
place to ensure testing is done before any feature /
product is rolled out to our customers.
