What did Deepinder Goyal say to shareholders
According to the news, Jomato was established in 2008 as Foodibe. It was later renamed Jomato. The company acquired the Quick Commerce Company Blinking in the year 2022. The company’s co-founder Deepinder Goyal wrote in a letter to the shareholders- when we acquired the blinkit, we started using the ‘eternal’ (replacing zomato) internal to distinguish between the company and the brand/app. We also thought that on the day Jomato, something beyond Jomato would become an important driver of our future, we would publicly change the company to the name of the company. Today, with the blinkit, I think we have reached there.
