Zomato parent Eternal’s CEO Deepinder Goyal asked Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa to step down twice after acquisition, here’s why
Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO of Zomato’s parent company Eternal, has revealed that he asked Albinder Dhindsa to step down from his role twice shortly after the food delivery service acquired Blinkit. Goyal explained that this move was part of his tough leadership reset method. Speaking on a video podcast with Raj Shamani, Goyal noted that these conversations took place soon after the acquisition of the quick commerce startup, when Dhindsa was struggling to adapt to the changes required after the integration.
“Right after we acquired Blinkit, I asked him (Albinder) to leave. I told him, ‘You will not be able to cut it.’ He said okay. This happened twice during that timeframe, and we started the transition,” Goyal said on the podcast.
