The role was designed not just for a regular job seeker, but for someone eager to take on a leadership position in Zomato's growth, particularly its initiatives such as Blinkit, District, Hyperpure, and Feeding India. While the first year of the role does not offer a salary, Goyal mentioned that candidates would begin receiving a competitive salary (starting at over ₹50 lakh) from Year 2 onwards. Key Points: 18,000+ Applications: Goyal announced that more than 18,000 people applied for the position, indicating strong interest in the unconventional role. Focus on Charity: The ₹20 lakh payment, if accepted, would be donated in full to Feeding India to support the charity's mission. Looking for Mindset, Not Money: Goyal emphasized that the selection process would prioritize candidates' learning mindset over financial considerations. Goyal's Call to Action: He urged candidates to apply for the position "only for the learning opportunity it presents, rather than for a fancy, well-paying job."
