Taking to Twitter, the food aggregator and delivery service provider shared the happy news with people.

“UPDATE: baba ka dhaba is now listed on Zomato and our team is working with the elderly couple there to enable food deliveries. Thank you to the good people of the internet for bringing our attention to this,” they wrote.

This is, however, not the only thing that happened after people came to know about the elderly couple’s plight.

The National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) also took to Instagram to share a video which shows one of their representatives communicating with Kanta Prasad and his wife, Badaami Devi.

In the caption they mentioned that the organisation “pledges to upgrade their infrastructure and equipment making them COVID-compliant so that they are able to continue with their legacy of serving others with a big smile.”

Paytm also joined in to show their appreciation. They shared, “Baba, keep going strong! India’s best wishes are with you.”

Dating app Tinder also shared a tweet from their official Twitter account to urge others to choose the eatery for their next date.

From film stars to politicians, people from all walks of life came together to show their support for the couple. While some visited them, others helped them by donating money.
