The rehiring initiative by Eternal Limited, led by Zomato, could positively impact the company's stock by attracting experienced talent and improving its operational efficiency. This move signals a commitment to growth and a more stable work environment, potentially boosting investor confidence in Eternal Limited's future ventures.
Zomato, founder of Zomato and Vice Chairman of Eternal Limited, launched an initiative to rehire former employees, receiving an overwhelming response of over 8,000 emails. Approximately half of these emails were from former staff, while the rest were from individuals interested in joining Eternal Limited. Goyal acknowledged the emotional and historical context within the emails, making it challenging for current teams to assess them. He stated that he is personally reviewing all applications and has encouraged former direct reports to contact him via WhatsApp for a faster response. This initiative follows Goyal's earlier invitation to former employees, emphasizing that the company has evolved and is now more organized and less chaotic. The move comes as Eternal Limited, formerly Zomato, has expanded its business portfolio to include Zomato — Blinkit, Hyperpure, and District, and Goyal recently stepped down as Group CEO to become Vice Chairman, with Albinder Singh Dhindsa taking over as CEO.
