What next for Deepinder Goyal? A look at his ventures beyond the Eternal universe

Deepinder Goyal, founder of Eternal, the parent company of Zomato and Blinkit, has stepped down as chief executive officer (CEO) of the company, according to a filing with the stock exchanges on Wednesday.

The company has named Blinkit founder and CEO Albinder Dhindsa Goyal's successor, effective February 1.

In his shareholders’ letter, Goyal said, “Of late, I have found myself drawn to a set of new ideas that involve significantly higher risk exploration and experimentation. These are the kinds of ideas that are better pursued outside a public company like Eternal.”


Outside the Eternal universe, which consists of food delivery platform Zomato, quick commerce app Blinkit, going-out business District, and business-to-business supplies firm Hyperpure, Goyal has founded and invested in other sectors.

Here’s a breakdown of Goyal’s other ventures over the past few years.

Continue Research

Over two years ago, Goyal founded the health-focussed venture Continue Research to identify simple leverage points in the human body that could potentially alter ageing.

In October 2025, he expanded the venture by launching a $25-million fund to support researchers exploring fundamental questions about human biology and ageing. The fund was backed entirely by Goyal’s personal capital.

Continue Research is neither a startup nor a company, according to Goyal, but a seed fund with a research team focused on the next phase of human biology.

Temple

Goyal is also testing a deeptech device named Temple to monitor brain blood flow. He explained in a LinkedIn post earlier this month that Temple is an "experimental device" designed to measure brain blood flow accurately, in real time, and on a continuous basis.

Goyal developed the device while researching his "Gravity Ageing Hypothesis." This theory suggests that gravity may directly influence human aging. He outlined this idea last month, stating he was sharing it out of scientific curiosity.

LAT Aerospace

Goyal is co-founder at aviation startup LAT Aerospace, which was founded by former Zomato executive Surobhi Das. LAT is building low-cost short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft with up to eight seats for medium-haul flights, focussing on regional connectivity.

Goyal, who is a non-executive cofounder in the startup, has invested $20 million in LAT Aerospace in his personal capacity.

Earlier this month, he shared on LinkedIn that the startup had successfully demonstrated ultra-short take-off (uSTOL) capabilities with its Lat One v0.1 prototype. He also shared a video of the flight.
