Zomato Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Gunjan Patidar quits FoodTech giant

Zomato Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Gunjan Patidar has handed in his resignation at the Indian food delivery firm.

He is the fourth Co-founder to depart the company. The move follows exits by Mohit Gupta, another Co-founder, and two other senior executives last month.

What a day it has been - finally calling it a night!

Happy New Year, everyone. A big thanks to our customers, restaurant partners, delivery partners and the team for making 2022 wholesome. ❤️

Patidar spent 10 years at Zomato.

In a stock exchange filing, it disclosed: “Patidar was one of the first few employees of Zomato and built the core tech systems for the company.”

“Over the last ten plus years, he also nurtured a stellar tech leadership team that is capable of taking on the mantle of leading the tech function going forward. His contribution to building Zomato has been invaluable.”

Loss making Zomato, which is backed by Ant Group, Temasek and Goldman Sachs, did not give a reason for any of the aforementioned departures.

In November, it announced that it would lay off nearly three per cent of its workforce as it pursued profitability.
