The Zomato CEO is an IIT-Delhi graduate who started the online food delivery platform in partnership with Pankaj Chaddah in 2008.

With this, Zomato made entry into ‘Top 100 Listed Companies’ according to its value, which now stands at over Rs 1 lakh crore in market capitalisation.

This came as the company made a stellar debut in the market with its Initial Public Offerings (IPO), making Zomato the only internet-based company to get listed. 

“Today is a big day for us. A new Day Zero. But we couldn’t have gotten here without the incredible efforts of India’s entire internet ecosystem,” said Zomato Co-founder Deepinder Goyal in a statement. “India is a tough market to operate in, but if you are building to succeed in India, you are already exceptional. I say that because I believe Zomato and Swiggy are two of the best food delivery apps in the world today. We have a long way to go before we can call ourselves world class by our customers’ standards, but we are determined to get there,” Goyal added.
