Bhubaneshwar: Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal has been on a prolonged quest to find a Chief of Staff, a search that has now spanned nearly two years. The internet, however, remains unsurprised by this ongoing saga.
Goyal’s latest job posting for the role, shared on social media, has sparked a fresh wave of reactions. The position, which requires the candidate to pay ₹20 lakh as a donation to Feeding India and work without a salary for the first year, has been met with a mix of criticism and bemusement. Many have taken to social media to express their disbelief at the unusual terms, with some labeling it a “publicity stunt”3.
This isn’t the first time Goyal has faced backlash for his job postings. In January 2023, he advertised the same role, describing it as a “Mini CEO” position that demanded 24/7 availability and offered no work-life balance. The controversial nature of these postings has led to widespread mockery and skepticism about the feasibility of filling the role under such conditions.
Despite the criticism, Goyal remains steadfast in his approach, emphasizing the potential for personal growth and the unique learning opportunities the role offers. He has yet to find a suitable candidate, but the search continues, much to the amusement of the online community.
