India a tough market to operate: Zomato’s Deepinder Goyal

BENGALURU: Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal said India is a tough market to operate in but the company will not focus on short term profits at the cost of long term success of the food delivery company.

“India is a tough market to operate in, but if you are building to succeed in India, you are already exceptional,” he wrote to his shareholders on the day when his company became the first startup unicorn to list in the BSE and investors cheered its entry with a sizeable day one spike in share price.

Goyal went on to describe Zomato and Swiggy as two of the best food delivery apps in the world today but stopped short of being termed as world class.
