The shares of Zomato-parent Eternal and Swiggy surged in trade, rising to multi-week highs on February 10. Multiple factors led to the uptrend in the food delivery and quick commerce stocks today.

Eternal’s new AI tool:
Zomato on Monday said it has launched a dedicated AI-powered hotline (89200 89200) to simplify the onboarding process for delivery partners, Business Standard reported. According to a company statement quoted by the site, “the call initiates an AI-enabled WhatsApp journey where onboarding and background verification unfold in minutes”.
This comes a year after the company launched an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered customer support platform for businesses across the globe. “Introducing Nugget – an AI-native, no-code customer support platform. Nugget helps scale support effortlessly – highly customizable, low-cost, no developer team needed. No rigid workflows, just seamless automation,” Goyal said in a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
