Rakesh Ranjan has stepped down as CEO of food delivery at Eternal (Zomato’s parent company), as reported by Moneycontrol. Founder & Group CEO Deepinder Goyal will now take direct charge of the food delivery business — Zomato’s largest revenue driver — amid a slowdown in growth and ongoing internal restructuring.

This leadership transition comes shortly after the resignation of food delivery COO Rinshul Chandra, signaling a broader reshuffle as Zomato adapts to changing market dynamics.

Sundar Pichai-led tech giant Google is tightening its return-to-office policy, warning remote employees that they must begin coming in at least three days a week—or risk losing their jobs.

According to a report by CNBC, the company has started informing staffers across several divisions that remote work approvals granted during the pandemic are being withdrawn.

Affected employees have been told to switch to a hybrid schedule or consider a voluntary exit, with relocation support available in some cases for those who move within 50 miles of a Google office.

This move marks a broader industry trend, as major tech firms push to restore in-office collaboration. For Google, it’s also part of a broader cost-control effort. The company has been trimming its workforce since 2023 and recently began offering voluntary buyouts to select U.S.-based staff.

“In-person collaboration is an important part of how we innovate and solve complex problems,” said Google spokesperson Courtenay Mencini. She added that decisions are being made at the team level rather than as a company-wide mandate.

The Trump administration reportedly plans to pressure India to open up its $125 billion e-commerce market to American giants like Amazon and Walmart, according to a report by the Financial Times.

Citing industry executives, lobbyists, and U.S. government officials, the report said the U.S. will raise the issue during upcoming trade negotiations with India.

The talks are expected to cover a wide range of sectors, including food, automotive, and digital trade, with a strong emphasis on ensuring a “level playing field” in e-commerce.

Currently, Amazon and Walmart operate in India through local subsidiaries but face regulatory limitations. They are not allowed to hold inventory or sell directly to customers—unlike Indian conglomerate Reliance, which runs extensive retail ne

A Zomato delivery boy has captured the netizens’ attention with a handwritten note requesting a summer marketing internship, turning a simple food delivery into a viral moment of bold ambition and creativity.

The note, tucked into a delivery box during a late-evening food order at Shopflo, read:

“I am a college student looking for a summer internship in marketing (NOT sales). Do contact me. 6261724837 (Only WhatsApp).” On the back, he added a humble apology for the “terrible handwriting.”

“That note hit me. Amidst the hustle of deliveries, this person still took a shot at reaching out - handwritten, bold, and hopeful. If someone from the marketing space comes across this and sees potential in him, I truly hope this note finds the right eyes. Because sometimes, the boldest applications don’t land in inboxes - they land with your biryani,” Nikhil wrote, who shared the post.

Netizens have applauded the act as a rare mix of courage and creativity.

Responding to growing concerns over rising airfares, IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers has said that flight prices in India remain among the most competitive in the world, despite inflationary pressures and operational costs.

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Elbers said, “India is one of the most, if not the most, competitive markets globally. The average price levels here are extremely competitive.”

He made the comments amid reports that the Indian government has set up a special “Air Sewa” cell to monitor passenger complaints about fare spikes.

Aadit Palicha, co-founder and CEO of quick commerce startup Zepto, has opened up about the company’s near-collapse during the turbulent 2022–2023 period, revealing how a mix of hiring errors and the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) crisis pushed the startup to the brink.

Speaking in a conversation with Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan, Palicha said, “We almost died. Those mistakes were very costly, especially during that 2022–2023 period when it was existential for us.”

At the heart of the problem, he admitted, were poor hiring decisions across key functions including finance, operations, marketing, and category management.

Zepto CEO Aadit Palicha, while speaking with Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan, praised India’s tech talent, saying that engineers in the country are just as capable as their American counterparts.

Palicha, who co-founded Zepto in Mumbai, shared that while his startup had interviewed engineers from the U.S., the Indian talent stood out equally.

“I think the advantage is that the talent [in India] is incredible,” he said.

“We interviewed American engineers — and they’re exceptional — but we said hey, the guys that we have here are as good.”

He added that many people still underestimate India’s engineering pool, despite it being a key reason why several major internet startups open offices in Bengaluru.

Palicha also highlighted that while India’s talent market is competitive, it remains less intense than the hiring scene in places like San Francisco.

Amazon India rival Flipkart has officially ended its work-from-home policy and instructed all employees to return to the office five days a week.

The Walmart-owned company, which has around 22,000 employees, said the decision aims to bring teams together and reinforce collaboration after years of hybrid and remote working.

The return-to-office move marks a complete shift from the remote flexibility adopted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

“By returning to office, we aim to foster a strong sense of community for new hires and existing employees, and a shared focus on our common goals,” the spokesperson said.
