Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO of Zomato, might have delivered your last meal himself. Or, there are chances that Goyal can deliver your order next time. Yes, you read it right. According to Sanjeev Bikchandani, owner of Naukri.com, the entrepreneur delivers orders at least once a quarter. Bikchandani said that not only Goyal but all senior managers put themselves in the shoes of delivery boys at least once a quarter. While doing so, they never forget to put on a uniform.
“Just met @deepigoyal and the @zomato team. Delighted to learn that all senior managers including Deepinder don a red Zomato tee, get onto a motorcycle and spend a day delivering orders themselves at least once a quarter,” Bikhchandani, who is one of the investors in Zomato, said in a tweet.
Interestingly, no one has ever recognised Goyal despite the fact that this practice has been going on for the last three years. “Deepinder tells me that thus far nobody has recognised him,” Bikhchandani added.
Meanwhile, Zomato has announced that India’s ‘grandest food carnival’ – Zomaland is making a comeback after hiatus of two years. The food carnival did not take place because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“After a long COVID hiatus, Zomaland is back! This will be our grandest season, with the carnival setting up its tents in 7 cities, hosting the best of dining and entertainment,” Goyal recently said in a tweet.
