Paytm, which is the digital payment app, launched its great initial public offering IPO on Monday.

Well, it can be said that the jitters were natural and India’s food delivery giant Zomato stepped forward to cheer for Paytm. Zomato has already been there and has done that with the much-hyped IPO that happened in September, so in its trademark way Zomato casually sent the wishes to Paytm. Zomato made a tweet that reads, “if you need some Dahi shakkar for good luck, ice cream for the stress, or some sweets for celebrations (wink wink), we are here right here.”
And of course, Paytm had to respond to the sweet tweet of zomato. Paytm responded warmly along with a picture of Zomato as delivery executive sonu who is grinning ear to ear. If you don’t know about the famous Zomato executive Sonu, letters inform you that Sonu had gone viral for a tik tok video in which he can be seen expressing satisfaction at earning rupees 350 after working for 12 hours each day. As he went viral Zomato also changed their profile picture to Sonu beaming face along with a hilarious expression. So along with the photo Paytm replied, “thank you Zomato, dil khush kar diya.”
Well, this conversation between the companies was loved by the netizens, as the tweets have gained many likes. A user commented jokingly, “It’s a promotion for Zomato or Paytm? We are confuzzed…” While the other one commented, “Dear Zomato, I could see that, if we got allotment and got prft in Paytm IPO, we would order something from Zomato to celebrate, and triple satisfaction will be happened from Zomato, Paytm, and us.
Not only Zomato other brands also joined the friendly banter and also the celebratory mood. BigBasket, which is a Tata enterprise also congratulated Paytm as BigBasket made a tweet that reads, “dear Paytm, we wish you a basket full of luck and blessings.”

While on the other hand, Delhi capitals made a tweet, “may your run rate be off the charts dear @Paytm! congratulations from the entire Delhi Capitals family.” And to which Paytm replied, “Dil Se thank you.”
