Zomato Launches AI-Powered 'Healthy Mode' For Customised Nutrient-Rich Food Options
Food delivery platform Zomato introduced the AI-driven Healthy Mode option on Monday in Gurugram, which features assigning a healthy score to dishes based on protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and micronutrients.
With the new technological innovation, customers will be able to choose food based on their current needs, addressing their deficiencies through proper examination.

Launching the innovation, the company’s CEO Deepinder Goyal stated that the platform had focused more on convenience than health. Though initially introduced in Gurugram, the company plans a nationwide rollout in coming weeks.
The feature gives comprehensive nutritional data for dishes on the app, including grammage, item descriptions, and a Healthy Score that ranks meals from Low to Super. Zomato has used AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to build these profiles for each dishes, making nutritional insights widely accessible for customers.

The tool has received mixed user feedback, with praise for promoting wellness. Some people have criticised the endeavour noting restaurant hygiene and the unmatched benefits of home-cooked meals.
In a social media post, Deepinder Goyal said though the company made eating out and ordering in easier than ever, but it has never really helped people truly eat better. “Yes, you could find a salad or a smoothie bowl, but the truth is, if you wanted to eat genuinely nourishing food, Zomato didn’t make it easy. That weighed on me, because when we say our mission is “better food for more people”, the “better” has to mean something deeper,” the Swiggy CEO stated.
Talking about the launch of Healthy Mode, Goyal underlined that the score would be based on what really counts for your health: protein, complex carbs, fibre, and micronutrients, and not just calories.
“We have kept the bar very high, that professional athletes can rely on healthy mode to find food that works for them. This is personal for me. I’ve carried the guilt that Zomato made it easy to eat whatever you craved, but not easy to eat what your body needed. Healthy Mode is our first real step in putting that right. It’s live in Gurgaon, and we’ll expand fast,” Goyal wrote on X.
For years, there’s been something about Zomato that made me uneasy.
