Goyal Steps Down as CEO to Explore New Ventures

Deepinder Goyal has announced his resignation as Group CEO of Eternal, the parent company of Zomato, to pursue new ventures outside the organization. He intends to transition to the role of Vice Chairman, subject to shareholder approval. Albinder Dhindsa has been appointed as the new Group CEO, taking over operational responsibilities.

Goyal expressed a desire to explore high-risk, experimental ideas that fall outside Eternal's current strategic scope. He believes this move will allow the company to remain focused and disciplined. Dhindsa, credited with Blinkit's turnaround, is well-equipped to lead Eternal's daily operations and strategic priorities.
