Zomato's co-founder, CTO Gunjan Patidar quits, reasons not disclosed

Online food delivery platform Zomato Ltd announced its co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Gunjan Patidar resigned from the post on January 2, 2023.

Patidar was one of the earliest employees of Zomato and built the core tech systems for the company, it said in a regulatory filing.

"Over the last ten plus years, he also nurtured a stellar tech leadership team that is capable of taking on the mantle of leading the tech function going forward. His contribution to building Zomato has been invaluable," the company said.

The food delivery giant, however, did not disclose reasons for his resignation.

In November last year, another co-founder of Zomato, Mohit Gupta, had given his papers. Gupta, who had joined Zomato four-and-half years back, was promoted to co-founder in 2020 from the position of CEO of its food delivery business.

Zomato had seen some top level exits last year, including those of Rahul Ganjoo, former head of new initiatives, and Siddharth Jhawar, the then vice-president and head of Intercity, and co-founder Gaurav Gupta.
