Meet the guy who, with a classmate from IIT Delhi, established a Rs 1,15,000 crore business and left it ten years later to
Pankaj Chaddah, co-founder of Zomato, has been an inspiration to many via his incredible path of perseverance and rebirth. When he and Deepinder Goyal founded Zomato in 2008, they ignited a revolution that changed how we now experience eating out and meal delivery.
Chaddah graduated from IIT Delhi with a degree in mechanical engineering. His work path took him into the business sector once he graduated. He went to New Delhi and joined Bain and Company.
After serving in that capacity for 2.5 years, destiny came into play and brought Goyal and Chaddah together to launch Zomato.
Chaddah lost interest in Zomato when it became a unicorn in February 2018 despite the company’s success, which led him to leave the organization he spent more than ten years helping to build.
But the energy that drove him continued to reside inside him, and in May 2019, Chaddah began a new chapter in his life.
In November 2019, Chaddah and Pooja Khanna, who was among the first workers at Zomato, collaborated to establish Shyft (formerly Mindhouse). He led Shyft toward success and creativity on this new adventure.
The narrative of Pankaj Chaddah exemplifies the eternal spirit. After transforming the food sector, he embarked on a new entrepreneurial endeavor.
His narrative demonstrates the value of perseverance and hard effort. He now serves as an inspiration to budding entrepreneurs in addition to being a co-founder.
