CEO Deepinder Goyal, Wife Grecia Munoz, and Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa Cut Cake with Students and Delivery Partner
Introduction:
On its 16th anniversary, food delivery giant Zomato marked the milestone by giving back to the community. CEO Deepinder Goyal, along with his wife Grecia Munoz and Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa, visited Vidya School in Gurgaon, a school supported by Zomato’s Feeding India initiative. They celebrated by cutting a cake with the students and a Zomato delivery partner, highlighting the company’s commitment to social responsibility.
Founded in 2008 by Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah, Zomato has grown from a small startup to a leading player in the food delivery industry. The company now operates in over 1,000 cities across India and several international markets.
Goyal shared pictures from the celebration on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the “love and high fives” received from the students. Munoz also shared her experience, thanking Feeding India for the opportunity to engage with the students at Vidya School.
Feeding India, a not-for-profit initiative by Zomato, supports schools for low-income families through daily meal programs. By celebrating with the students benefiting from this initiative, Zomato’s leadership demonstrated that giving back remains a core value even as the company has grown.
Zomato’s 16th anniversary also saw the company making headlines with a creative full-page newspaper ad designed to resemble a political billboard. The ad featured photos of Zomato’s leadership team and a message thanking customers for their support. It also promoted a special offer for Zomato Gold, the company’s membership program.
As Zomato enters its 17th year, the company’s anniversary celebration and initiatives like Feeding India showcase the evolving role of startups in the Indian ecosystem. Many startups are prioritizing social impact and using their platforms to drive positive change.
Conclusion:
Zomato’s growth over the past 16 years demonstrates the strength and potential of the Indian startup ecosystem. The company’s commitment to giving back serves as an example for other startups looking to balance business success with social responsibility.
Zomato’s 16th anniversary celebration highlighted not only the company’s impressive growth but also its dedication to making a difference in the communities it serves. As Zomato continues to expand and innovate, its commitment to balancing business success and social impact will likely remain a key part of its story.
