With ‘District,’ Zomato introduces its third major service after its popular food delivery platform and BlinkIT’s quick-commerce service. The company aims to become the go-to app for anyone eager to dine out or explore events and experiences in their city.


Zomato’s entry into the going-out segment is a smart step to broaden its revenue sources and tap into the growing entertainment market. The company, in August 2023 strengthened its position in this space by acquiring Paytm’s events and ticketing business for Rs 2,048 crore.


Key Features of Zomato's District App


The District app brings together a wide range of services to enhance your outings:


- Movie Ticket Booking: Easily book tickets for your favorite films at popular chains like PVR-Inox and Cinepolis.


- Event Reservations: Secure your spot at concerts, plays, and live events with just a few taps.


- Dining Reservations: Reserve tables at top restaurants using Zomato’s vast network for seamless dining experiences.


Zomato’s ticketing services on the District app will face competition from BookMyShow, India’s pioneering ticketing platform, launched in August 2007 and backed by Reliance.
