D eepinder Goyal is an Indian technology entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Zomato, one of India's largest and most popular food technology companies. A graduate of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Goyal was working at the consulting firm Bain & Company when he and his colleague, Pankaj Chaddah, came up with the idea for a restaurant discovery and review platform.

They launched the company in 2008, initially as Foodiebay, before rebranding it as Zomato. The platform quickly grew into a comprehensive food-tech service, expanding from restaurant listings into online food ordering and delivery, which became its core business. As CEO, Goyal has led the company through years of hyper-growth, aggressive competition, and international expansion. He steered Zomato through a landmark initial public offering in 2021, one of the first major Indian consumer tech startups to go public, a milestone that turned him into a billionaire.
