Person of the Day: Deepinder Goyal, From Bain Cubicle to Eternal

Deepinder Goyal built FoodieBay in 2008 after seeing Bain colleagues queue for printed menus; it became Zomato in 2010.

Zomato's 2021 IPO was a landmark moment for India's startup ecosystem and the first big new-age listing.

The 2022 Blinkit buy turned quick commerce into one of the group's most valuable arms.

Zomato's parent rebranded to Eternal in 2025, housing food delivery, Blinkit and District.

Goyal stepped down as CEO in February 2026, staying on as vice chairman to focus on long-term strategy.
