Zomato has launched a new app called District. The app provides a single platform for booking movie tickets, event tickets, and dining out. The app is now available for Android and iOS in beta.
In August, Zomato made a significant move by acquiring Paytm’s entertainment and ticketing business for $244 million. Now, Zomato appears to be rebranding this venture under the name District and is also integrating it with the dining-out feature that is already available in the Zomato app.
District by Zomato aims to provide a seamless platform for movie ticket booking, dining reservations, and event ticket bookings. Users can browse through available movies, select their preferred showtimes, and book tickets directly within the app. They can also book event tickets for concerts and live performances to sports events and cultural festivals.
The district allows users to explore nearby restaurants, check out menus, and make reservations for a hassle-free dining experience.
Zomato’s District app will compete against BookMyShow. BookMyShow has been a dominant player in India’s entertainment ticketing industry for a long time. So, it will be interesting to see how the District app manages to compete. Partnering with exclusive venues and offering exclusive deals can attract users and differentiate the District from competitors.
