Deepinder Goyal is the co-founder and CEO of Zomato, one of the world’s largest food delivery services and restaurant aggregators. It operates in more than 24 countries such as Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the UK, UAE, Qatar, and many more. He was inspired to launch this online restaurant information service when he saw the demand for food menus among his colleagues in the restaurants.

On experiencing the success of Blinkit’s new model of 10-minute food delivery service, Deepinder announced its 10-minute food delivery offering with Zomato Instant. “Innovating and leading from the front is the only way to survive in the tech industry,” said Deepinder Goyal. He is also in talks to have a merger with Blinkit in an all-stock deal.
