Senior NRAI leaders are confirmed as panelists across all seven cities and will also be part of the award presentations.

The NRAI is pleased to announce its official support for the Zomato Summit 2015, a seven city series of day-long events by Zomato across India from Sept 14-23.

Each event is a combination of industry-led panel discussions, consumer-selected awards for restaurants, a peek into Zomato’s latest offerings and a networking dinner. This is Zomato’s second summit series, the first in 2012 was also supported by the NRAI.

Senior NRAI leaders are confirmed as panelists across all seven cities and will also be part of the award presentations.

The consumer-selected awards – Zomato User Choice Awards – has received over 500,000 votes in the two weeks of voting which closed on September 7. This is the first time it is organising such awards, which will honour over 1200 restaurants across India. There are 10 categories per city and between 09-12 nominees per category. The categories vary as per the city.

These awards will be presented at the summit in each city, which will be attended by the nominees, senior marketing professionals, and industry strategists.

The summit dates are: Delhi & Mumbai – Sept 14, Bengaluru – Sept 17, Kolkata – Sept 21, Pune & Chennai – Sept 22 and Hyderabad – Sept 23.
