His LinkedIn profile also shows that after completing his MBA, Anmol Gupta co-founded a firm a help people in their fitness journey.

In the same blog post where Deepinder Goyal announced the appointment of Anmol Gupta, Zomato's CEO also shared his own fitness regime which helped him reduce his weight by 15 kg.

"Personally, I feel a good diet is 80% of the work in one’s fitness journey," Goyal said.

"In 2019, a few months before the pandemic, I started treating my health as an equal priority to my work. My hypothesis was that I will be able to produce more and better quality work, if I am in peak physical (and mental) shape," he added.

Zomato's CEO said that he did not do anything "extreme" in his fitness regime, saying that "consistency without extremities has had a positive effect on both my physical and psychological health. "I started tracking my carb intake, ate a healthy diet, and worked out regularly. I didn’t do anything extreme, always had a day or two of cheat days on weekends (with cholle bhature, butter chicken, and gulab jamun and what not). But overall, I was consistent with more healthy behaviour each week compared to my previous habits," he said.

Goyal also urged other companies "to remove the stigma around employees taking the time to care about fitness whilst at work — because only when people are healthy, they are equipped to accept and face the hardest challenges life throws at them."
