Zomato expands horizon with District app; Everything you need to know

New Delhi: In a strategic expansion, Zomato has launched a brand-new app named ‘District,’ which will cater to its "going-out" business, encompassing dining, event ticketing, and more. This move marks Zomato's venture beyond its primary focus on food delivery and hyper-local commerce, signaling its aim to create a broader lifestyle ecosystem.

Zomato’s new lineup

With the introduction of District, Zomato now operates three major apps:

1. Zomato for food delivery services.
2. Blinkit for groceries and essential items.
3. District for dining out, movies, events, and social experiences.

The new app was officially launched on August 1 and is designed to be a one-stop solution for users seeking experiences outside their homes. Whether you’re planning to dine out, catch the latest movie, or book event tickets, the District aims to offer a seamless experience through a consolidated platform.

What District Offers

The District is not just another app—it’s an ambitious project aimed at becoming a hub for all things related to leisure and entertainment. By integrating dining options and event bookings, the District seeks to position itself as a key player in the lifestyle segment. The app’s focus aligns well with Zomato’s vision of offering more than just food delivery, providing users with a comprehensive range of services for their outings.

The strategic partnership with Paytm Insider

In a significant deal, Zomato has partnered with Paytm Insider to strengthen its offering in event ticketing. This collaboration is expected to enhance the user experience by integrating seamless booking options for movies, concerts, and other events directly within the app. As Zomato continues to expand its digital ecosystem, the success of the District could be a game-changer. It represents a broader shift towards providing integrated services that go beyond Zomato’s original business model.
