    Deepinder explained that this detailed weather data has a lot of potential for businesses and research institutes to explore new applications and solve real-world problems. He further added that Zomato has already collaborated with CAS – IIT Delhi and they believe that more companies and institutions will find valuable uses for this data.

    “We believe that this data is too valuable to keep to ourselves or to monetise; therefore, as a Zomato Giveback, we are opening up access to this data to everyone for the public good,” the co-founder added. Zomato’s co-founder further mentioned that Weather Union plans to expand its network and needs volunteers to offer space for setting up more weather stations.

    “Also, a lot of Zomato employees have hosted weather stations at their homes. As we look forward to further expanding this infrastructure, we welcome volunteers who want to provide us space on their premises to install these weather stations and contribute to nation building,” he stated.
