Deepinder Goyal exits Eternal CEO role for ‘high-risk’ projects, Albinder Dhindsa named successor

Eternal founder Deepinder Goyal on Wednesday announced that he will step away from his role as group chief executive officer of Eternal, the parent company of Zomato and Blinkit, and, subject to shareholder approval, remain on the board as vice-chairman. Blinkit CEO Albinder Singh Dhindsa will take over as Eternal’s new group CEO.

In a letter to shareholders posted on X, Goyal said the transition would allow the company to remain “sharply focused and disciplined” while giving him the space to pursue higher-risk ideas that fall outside Eternal’s strategic scope.
