Another twist in Zomato job row, Deepinder Goyal takes back ₹20 lakh fee caveat

Hindustan Times  

In yet another twist, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal, who has been under fire for sharing a job posting which pays no salary, has revealed that the condition was only imposed as a filter to reach the best candidates for the role of his Chief of Staff. This comes after the CEO was criticised on X for sharing that his future Chief of Staff will not be paid any salary for the first year of the job and would instead have to pay ₹20 lakh to Zomato as a donation to its Feeding India initiative. Deepinder Goyal's second update: Outrage over zero salary job Internet was not pleased after Goyal said that he was looking for a Chief of Staff who was “down to earth”, had “zero entitlement” and would be willing to essentially pay for the privilege of working alongside hime. Many were shocked to see the CEO of one of India’s leading startups proposing a ₹20 lakh price for a job at his company, which they said automatically rejects millions of Indians who did not have such a large amount of cash lying around.
