Meet Deepinder Goyal
Overview
Meet Deepinder Goyal is the CEO of Zomato.
He recently got a lot of praise for being really sharp with details. During a recent pitch, he spotted a huge mistake on a company's poster – a phone number with only nine digits instead of ten. He pointed it out, asking, "Where is the attention to detail?"
This made people compare him to Judge Ashneer, who was also known for his strict feedback in the first two seasons. Now, everyone's curious about the person who helps bring them their favorite everyday food.
Deepinder comes from Muktsar, Punjab and like many of us faced challenges in school. He openly shares about his early struggles, even admitting to trying to cheat once. This experience, however, became a crucial learning moment that shaped his understanding of right and wrong. While he wasn't the strongest student initially, requiring his father's support to advance one year,
Deepinder's honesty and willingness to learn set him on a path of growth and self-discovery. He remembers occasional feelings of being down, but instead of letting them hold him back, he used them as fuel for his motivation, pushing him to continue his hunger for improvement.
