Deepinder Goyal is an Indian entrepreneur and the founder of the business that developed Zomato. Eternal Limited's board profile identifies him as its vice chairman and non-executive director. Before founding the venture, he worked at Bain & Company.[1]
Goyal received an integrated M.Tech in Mathematics and Computing from IIT Delhi in 2005. IIT Delhi's alumni-award record documents his degree and his subsequent work as a management consultant at Bain & Company.[2]
The business began in 2008 as a way to find restaurant information. EY's account of his career describes the collection and scanning of menus from approximately 1,200 restaurants in Delhi NCR for a directory named Foodiebay. The service was renamed Zomato in 2010.[3]
The IIT Delhi award profile traces the development of the venture from restaurant discovery and reviews into food delivery and dining-related services. This progression brought together an online information service, customers and the restaurants supplying them.[2]
EY describes expansion across cities, the challenges of gaining the confidence of restaurants and users, and the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 period. Its profile connects these stages with the company's public-market listing in 2021.[3]
The present corporate board page lists Goyal as founder, vice chairman and non-executive director. It also presents Zomato, Blinkit, District and Hyperpure as businesses within the group. His personal biography is distinct from the history of any one of those services.[1]
IIT Delhi honoured Goyal through its Distinguished Alumni Awards in 2020, recognising his entrepreneurial work. The institution's record ties the honour to his role in developing the restaurant-information and food-services business.[2]
EY announced him as the recipient of its Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 award on 25 February 2026. The award's year is 2025, while the announcement took place in the following calendar year.[4]
