'Did titles ever matter at Eternal? I am still very much here': Deepinder Goyal on stepping down as CEO

In a re-recruitment post aimed at former employees, Eternal founder and former CEO Deepinder Goyal has assured of still being deeply engaged with Zomato’s parent company.

“You might say that Eternal is not going to be the same, because I am not the CEO anymore. But ask yourself a question. Did titles ever matter at Eternal? I am still very much here, and I'd love for you to be a part of this next phase of Eternal,” Goyal wrote in a post on Tuesday.



He announced his resignation from the helm of Zomato and Blinkit’s parent company in late January this year. Goyal penned this post in a bid to recruit former employees of Zomato who may have quit or been laid off by the company.

“If you used to work at Zomato, whether you chose to move on, or I was the one who asked you to leave, this is for you. I know that for many of you, Zomato didn't have the environment or the leadership you needed at the time.”

He assured those who may have been dissatisfied previously with the then leadership and environment of Zomato that the company has become ‘more organised and a little less chaotic,’ expressing his desire to have them back on the team.

“We are today a family of companies. Zomato, Blinkit Quick-Commerce, Blinkit Ambulances, District, Hyperpure, Nugget, and Feeding India. We need people who already know what good looks like here and who care enough to fight for it. There is no better person for that than someone who has been here, left, grown, and wants to come back,” he added.

This is not the first time Goyal has pressed on re-recruiting the past hires of Eternal or its subsidiaries. Recently, during a podcast, he highlighted that the company has several employees who have come back and taken up different roles from their previous ones. In his Tuesday post, Goyal highlighted the same point, stating that over 400 employees at Eternal are currently in their ‘second or third stints’ at the company.

“If you feel like you have unfinished business here, please don't overthink it. Write to me at back@eternal.com. The Gurgaon pollution is still a bug, but being at Eternal is the feature. Let's talk and find a role that fits your life as it is today,” he added.
