The signs are all out there. One needs to be vigilant enough to catch the hints and start planning for a trough 🔻

You don't need a PhD to understand the health of our economy.

Most numbers are thrown at you to overwhelm you.
You are smart enough to observe simple things like-

1) Low jobs, low savings
2) No petrol price cuts
3) Slow GDP growth
4) Killing relationships with top economies
5) High taxes

It is a not hard to guess the direction in which our economy is headed.

Build a fall back plan. Because every top business person, politician is building one.

Hiring update on the Chief of Staff –

We started with 18,000+ applications and have had the privilege of meeting over 150 incredibly talented individuals. From this, 30 exceptional people received offers, and 18 have already joined Zomato (and other group companies like Blinkit) in high-impact roles. They’re being handsomely compensated for the value they bring, and nobody paid anything to work with us.

Who are these 30 people? Founders who bootstrapped startups from their dorm rooms, engineers who rewrote entire tech stacks over a weekend, operators who turned chaos into scale, and a handful of brilliant young minds fresh out of college—people we believe will lead us into the future.

What sets them apart? A long-term mindset. They weren’t optimizing for short-term outcomes but for compounding impact—the most misunderstood mathematical miracle. Finding people who truly get this is rare, and I’m grateful we did.

4 of the 18 people who have already joined us, work directly with me, and 2 of them are in Chief of Staff roles.

And we’re not done. With 18,000+ applications, we’re still carefully sifting through this amazing talent pool. This isn’t just a one-time hiring sprint—it’s a long-term investment in the people who will build the future with us. We’ll keep reaching out to the right folks, slowly but surely.

Introducing Bistro - Blinkit’s new 10 minute food offering. Bistro is a new app, outside of Blinkit and Zomato. This service is currently live across a few locations in Gurugram to help us find product market fit.

With @bistrobyblinkit we will offer our customers high quality, canteen type food, delivered hot in 10 minutes. We believe high quality food that is more accessible has the potential to induct more customers into “outside of home” food consumption. To achieve this, we are innovating on the entire food supply chain with Bistro. At Bistro, no preservatives or food processors are used in preparing the food, nor is it microwaved processed food. Instead we are investing in infrastructure and R&D to create tasty dishes within 5 minutes or less.

We have partnered with a number of companies innovating in the food industry to make this happen and will continue to support the ecosystem.

Introducing the Zomato Plastic-Free Future Program, a campaign designed to recognize restaurant partners making active efforts to adopt sustainable packaging for their food deliveries. Over 200+ restaurants in 30+ cities have joined the program by sharing detailed evidence that their main dishes are packed in sustainable alternatives.

By recognising these restaurants on the app, we aim to motivate more restaurants to make the switch and encourage more investments in the sustainable food delivery packaging supply chain.
