'I want you back': Deepinder Goyal writes to ex-Zomato employees to rejoin Eternal

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Deepinder Goyal, Founder and Vice Chairman of the Board at Eternal Limited, reached to ex-employees of Zomato, saying “If you used to work at Zomato, whether you chose to move on, or I was the one who asked you to leave, this is for you.”

Goyal said the company has grown and there “so much to build at Eternal.”

He highlighted the companies where Eternal has grown, saying “We are today, a family of companies. Zomato, Blinkit Quick-Commerce, Blinkit Ambulances, District, Hyperpure, Nugget, and Feeding India.”

He said they need people who understand who know “what good looks like … and who care enough to fight for it.”

Leadership at Eternal

Highlighting the leadership at Eternal, Goyal said, “You might say that Eternal is not going to be the same, because I am not the CEO anymore … Did titles ever matter at Eternal? I am still very much here, and I'd love for you to be a part of this next phase of Eternal.”

Earlier on January 21, in an unexpected move, Eternal founder and Group CEO Goyal announced that he will step away from his executive role, with Albinder Dhindsa set to become the company’s new Group CEO, subject to shareholder approval. Goyal will continue on the board as Vice Chairman.

In a letter to shareholders, Goyal said the decision was driven by his desire to explore new ideas involving higher risk and experimentation, which he believes are better pursued outside a public company.
