Zomato’s mobile application and its website have crashed, a day before its listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). It is an Indian multinational restaurant aggregator and food delivery company. Taking to Twitter, Zomato tweeted, “Our app is down, due to a widespread Akamai outage. Our teams are working to ensure all orders placed are delivered asap.”

Akamai is the internet infrastructure company, which is the centre of the issue, has confirmed experiencing a “service disruption”. It tweeted: “Akamai is experiencing a service disruption. We are actively investigating the issue and will provide an update in 30 minutes.”

Zomato‘s IPO launched a few days ago and it generated interest within the investor community and beyond. Market experts had a mixed opinion on the prospects of Zomato‘s stocks. Most of it can be attributed to the fact that the company is still incurring huge losses and it is predicted that the downward momentum will continue given its ‘significant investments‘ to prime pump its growing business.
