Deepinder Goyal Rewires Zomato Amid Challenges

Deepinder Goyal Rewires Zomato Amid Challenges

Deepinder Goyal, the founder of Zomato, faced big challenges in late 2022.

The company was losing market share to Swiggy, and its recent acquisition, Blinkit, was not making a profit.

Goyal worked very hard, often 16 hours a day, to fix these problems.

He used special cards with reminders to stay focused and avoid mistakes.

He also introduced a new way of leading the company where leaders rotate their roles, ensuring no one person has too much power.

By June 2023, Zomato started making a small profit, and the company began to improve.

Goyal believes in rewarding people for their hard work without setting strict targets, and he encourages everyone to keep learning and innovating.
