New Delhi, Oct. 6 -- Zomato, the popular food ordering and delivery platform, has tied up with HDFC Pension, one of the largest pension fund managers in the country, to introduce the 'NPS (National Pension System) Platform Workers Model' for its delivery partners.

The collaboration will enable independent gig workers, onboarded on Zomato as delivery partners, to make small and regular contributions towards a pension fund that will enable them to achieve long-term financial security.
