Global powers will bully India unless it becomes most unapologetic superpower: Eternal CEO

A day after US president Donald Trump increased tariffs on Indian goods to 50%, Eternal (formerly Zomato) CEO Deepinder Goyal said global powers will always bully India, but the country must take its destiny in its own hands.

In a post on X, he said India should collectively decide to become the world's "most unapologetic superpower".



"Every few years, the world reminds us of our place. A threat here, a tariff there. But the message is the same: stay in your lane, India. Global powers will always bully us, unless we take our destiny in our own hands. And the only way to do that is if we collectively decide to become the world's largest most unapologetic superpower in the world. In economy, in technology, in defense, and most importantly, in ambition," Goyal said.

"There is absolutely no other way," he emphasised.

Info Edge founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani agreed with Goyal's take. "Bang on. Invest in deep tech. Invest in AI. Build our own IP," he posted on X.
