The huge buzz around the launch of Zomato’s IPO today
seems to have stressed out Deepinder Goyal, the founder of the app that leads
the Indian market in food delivery and restaurant aggregation.
“Just ordered a triple breakfast @zomato. Stress eating,”
Goyal tweeted on Wednesday morning.
An hour after his first tweet, Goyal tweeted a smiley,
wordless.
Mr Goyal’s tweets saw reactions pour in.
“Make it large Deepi ! Best wishes for superb listing. Rooting
for you man,” tweeted PayTM founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma.
“All the best. My stress eating is aided by Zomato. Help with a
share handout to special customers like me who share your coping behavior, to
ease my discomfort,” wrote Monica Jasuja, Vice President, Product
Management, Mobile Financial Solutions at Comviva.
