  • Deepinder Goyal on Zomato's lowest moment: 'When Swiggy raised $1 billion, we had $35 million'

    08 October 2024

    Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal recently revealed the only moment he considered to be the lowest for the food delivery company was when its arch-rival Swiggy had raised $1 billion while Zomato had just $35 million in the bank.

    Goyal was referring to the time in 2018 when Swiggy said that its latest round of funding led by Naspers was the "single largest in India's food technology sector to date". It used the money to bring more quality food brands closer to consumers and address gaps in supply through delivery-only kitchens for restaurant partners, Swiggy, and to hire talent, especially for machine learning and engineering roles across mid and senior levels.
