Gunjan Soni said, “I have had a great partnership with the Zomato team and the other Board members over the past 3 years. The need to step down stems from increased professional commitments and was a tough decision. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served on the Board and am confident in Zomato’s management team and the company’s future direction. It has been an absolute pleasure to serve on the Board under Kaushik’s chairmanship and work alongside such talented and dedicated Board members and the management team. I take this opportunity to thank them for the support extended to me during my tenure as an Independent Director of the Company. I wish Deepinder and team the very best for continued success.”
Deepinder Goyal, our CEO, commented, “It was great to partner with Gunjan and a big thanks to her for helping us navigate through the ups and down of the past few years. On behalf of Zomato, I want to thank Gunjan for her valuable insights and guidance that have been instrumental in our growth. While I will miss her on our board, we understand her constraints and wish her continued success.”
