NOIDA (India CSR): Jubilant FoodWorks Limited (JFL), India’s largest food tech company, undertakes a game-changing initiative to strengthen the financial well-being of its delivery partners. In partnership with ClearTax, India’s leading online e-filing platform, JFL has launched a tech-enabled process to help over 1 lakh Domino’s delivery partners file their Income Tax Returns (ITR) and receive their eligible TDS refunds seamlessly.
As part of this initiative, delivery partners who worked with Domino’s during the last financial year easily accessed ClearTax’s digital platform to file their ITRs and got to know their refund amount upfront at the click of a button. The program is expected to channelize over Rs 1 crore in refunds back into the hands of JFL’s gig workforce, reinforcing the company’s commitment to improving their financial stability beyond daily earnings.
Sameer Batra, President and Chief Business Officer, Jubilant FoodWorks Limited, said, “Our delivery partners are the backbone of Domino’s and play a vital role in ensuring that we deliver hot and fresh pizzas to millions of customers every day. By facilitating easy access to TDS refunds, we are not only supporting their financial wellbeing but also contributing to their formal financial inclusion. As one of the leading emerging markets’ food service and food tech companies, we remain committed to instituting people-first initiatives at scale that truly make a difference in the lives of our gig workforce.”
Adding to this, Archit Gupta, Founder and CEO of ClearTax said, “We are proud to partner with Jubilant FoodWorks on this landmark initiative. Gig workers form an important part of India’s economy, and making tax filing simple, transparent, and accessible for them is a step towards building long-term financial empowerment.”
This initiative is a part of Jubilant FoodWorks’ broader commitment to improving the overall welfare of its delivery partners, who are often the first point of human connection between the brand and its customers. By driving this initiative at scale, JFL is setting a new benchmark in how organizations can create tangible impact in the gig economy while emotionally connecting customers with the riders who deliver joy and pizzas in 30 minutes or under.
