Food & E-Commerce Start-ups Mandate Aarogya Setu App For Delivery Partners

Bengaluru: Indian start-ups in food delivery, e-commerce and other online marketplaces have asked all their delivery partners and frontline staff members to download the government’s Aarogya Setu app for contact tracing.

While food start-ups Swiggy and Zomato, e-grocer Groffers, online marketplace Urban Company, e-commerce companies Amazon and Flipkart are helping raise awareness regarding the app, some start-ups are still unsure about using the app because of privacy issues.

“If delivery partners install the app on their phones, it would give its users confidence to order essentials home,” Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal tweeted.

However, cyber experts claim that the app only ensures contact tracing, but does not indicate whether the person carries the virus or not.
