Zomato has announced the rebranding of its parent company to Eternal Ltd., sparking widespread online discussion. However, the food delivery app will continue to operate under the Zomato brand, ensuring no changes for customers.

Zomato reacts to rebranding buzz: Internet goes wild over ‘Eternal’

Zomato has announced the rebranding of its parent company to Eternal Ltd., sparking widespread online discussion. However, the food delivery app will continue to operate under the Zomato brand, ensuring no changes for customers.

Zomato&rsquo;s recent announcement regarding the rebranding of its parent company to Eternal Ltd. created a wave of speculation across social media.
Netizens were quick to assume that their favorite food delivery app was undergoing a major transformation. The confusion led to a flood of reactions, with many questioning the fate of Zomato&rsquo;s core food delivery service.
<h3>Zomato&rsquo;s Name Changed? Here&rsquo;s the Truth</h3>
The speculation began when Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal shared an official announcement via X. His post included a link to a letter titled &ldquo;Announcement&rdquo; (hosted on eternal.com), which explained the reasoning behind the name change.
&nbsp;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Announcement - <a href="https://t.co/UN3aL8XuR7">https://t.co/UN3aL8XuR7</a>
&mdash; Deepinder Goyal (@deepigoyal) <a href="https://twitter.com/deepigoyal/status/1887466772522991973?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 6, 2025</a></blockquote>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The letter stated:
"When we acquired Blinkit, we started using &lsquo;Eternal&rsquo; (instead of Zomato) internally to distinguish between the company and the brand/app. We also thought that we would publicly rename the company to Eternal the day something beyond Zomato became a significant driver of our future. Today, with Blinkit, I feel we are there. We would like to rename Zomato Ltd., the company (not the brand/app), to Eternal Ltd."
Essentially, the name change only applies to the parent company and not to the Zomato app itself, ensuring that users can continue to use the food delivery service as usual.
<h3>Zomato&rsquo;s Response to the Rebranding Buzz</h3>
While the internet was abuzz with reactions, Zomato embraced the moment with its signature quirky humor.
&nbsp;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
guys eternal is the parent company - the app will remain zomato 😭😭😭 <a href="https://t.co/GuWA6m6fob">pic.twitter.com/GuWA6m6fob</a>

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The company&rsquo;s social media team actively responded to user queries and memes, adding to the excitement surrounding the announcement.
<h3>Social Media&rsquo;s Reaction to the Rebranding</h3>
The rebranding news left many users perplexed, with some assuming that a new &ldquo;Eternal&rdquo; app would soon launch, integrating Zomato, Blinkit, and other services.&nbsp; Check out some of the reactions: <img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67a5e65befce6_1738925659.png" width="479" height="273">

<h3>Why Zomato Rebranded Its Parent Company?</h3>
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67a5e7a022f0e_1738925984.jpg" width="531" height="480">
Deepinder Goyal clarified that the decision to rename Zomato Ltd. to Eternal Ltd. was driven by the company&rsquo;s expansion beyond food delivery. Over time, Zomato has diversified its operations, including:
Blinkit (Quick-Commerce Service) &ndash; A platform offering rapid grocery and essentials delivery.
Hyperpure (B2B Kitchen Supplies) &ndash; A service providing fresh and high-quality ingredients to restaurants.
District (Lifestyle Application) &ndash; A venture catering to lifestyle and retail needs.
According to Goyal, Blinkit&rsquo;s growing prominence made it evident that the company had evolved beyond being just a food delivery service. The new name, Eternal Ltd., reflects Zomato&rsquo;s wider business ambitions across multiple sectors.
<h3>Financial Performance and Future Plans</h3>
Despite the excitement surrounding its rebranding, Zomato reported a 57.3% drop in net profit during the October-December quarter of FY24. The company posted a profit of ₹59 crore, significantly lower than the ₹138 crore recorded in the same period last year.
The decline in net profit is attributed to increased spending on Blinkit, as Zomato aggressively expands its quick-commerce operations. The company continues to invest in opening more fulfillment centers, strengthening its presence in the highly competitive instant-delivery market.
<h3>What Users Should Expect</h3>
For Zomato users, the rebranding of its parent company won&rsquo;t change anything in their day-to-day experience. The food delivery app will continue to function under the Zomato brand, while Eternal Ltd. will oversee Zomato, Blinkit, and other ventures.
With this strategic shift, Zomato (now under Eternal Ltd.) aims to position itself as a multi-faceted tech giant, diversifying its services beyond food delivery. Whether this move proves successful in the long run remains to be seen, but one thing is clear&mdash;the Zomato app is here to stay.

Amazon, Flipkart, Google, and Meta support enforcing IS 19000:2022 standards to ensure authentic consumer reviews, with mandatory compliance to protect against misleading reviews

E-commerce giants support government's proposal to curb fake reviews

<h2>Amazon, Flipkart, Google, and Meta support enforcing IS 19000:2022 standards to ensure authentic consumer reviews, with mandatory compliance to protect against misleading reviews</h2>

Major e-commerce companies in India, including Amazon, Flipkart, Google, and Meta, have supported the government's proposal to enforce quality norms for consumer reviews. The consumer affairs department announced this development on Wednesday after a meeting with these stakeholders. The proposal aims to implement the IS 19000:2022 standard on 'online consumer reviews'.
<h3>Fake consumer review</h3>
Representatives from these companies agreed that mandatory compliance is crucial to protect consumers from misleading reviews on shopping websites and apps. The draft order will soon be released for public consultation.
"The discussion on moving towards a Quality Control Order for IS 19000:2022 was welcomed by stakeholders, and there was a general consensus that addressing fake reviews is important for protecting consumer interests while shopping online," the department stated.
Consumer Affairs Secretary Nidhi Khare, who chaired the meeting, emphasized the significance of this standard. She pointed out that online shoppers rely heavily on reviews for products they cannot physically inspect. "The presence of fake reviews online jeopardizes the trustworthiness of platforms and can lead to wrong purchase decisions," the department's statement highlighted.
The IS 19000:2022 standard sets specific responsibilities for review authors and administrators. It mandates that review authors be identified, prohibits editing reviews to alter their message, and bans actions that prevent or discourage negative reviews.
This move follows a failed voluntary initiative to curb fake reviews effectively. The consumer affairs department reported a surge in e-commerce-related complaints, rising to 4,44,034 in 2023 from 95,270 in 2018, comprising 43% of total registered grievances.
The government had previously issued voluntary quality norms for e-tailers, which included prohibiting paid reviews and requiring disclosure of promotional content. However, these voluntary norms did not significantly reduce fake reviews.
Consumer activist Pushpa Girimji, present at the meeting, stressed the importance of enforceability. She remarked, "Enforceability of such standards will be key to checking the menace of fake reviews effectively."
The stakeholders' support marks a significant step toward ensuring the authenticity of online reviews, thereby enhancing consumer trust in e-commerce platforms.

<h2>As the staffing and expenses outpaced growth, e-commerce firm eBay has planned to let go 9% of its current workforce affecting 1,000 employees and scale down on work given to outside contractors</h2>

E-commerce company eBay is planning to cut 9% of its staff, affecting 1,000 full-time employees and reduce the work given to outside contractors. As per the company, the layoff announcement comes as the staffing and expenses have outpaced growth of the company.
&ldquo;While we are making progress against our strategy, our overall headcount and expenses have outpaced the growth of our business,&rdquo; the San Jose, California-based company said Tuesday in a statement. &ldquo;To address this, we&rsquo;re implementing organizational changes that align and consolidate certain teams to improve the end-to-end experience, and better meet the needs of our customers around the world.&rdquo;
<h3>eBay Layoff</h3>
This is the second round of job reductions at eBay in one year. The firm in February 2023, announced job reductions of 4% of its employees affecting 500. The company had then cited &nbsp;a slowdown in consumer spending following the pandemic-fueled e-commerce boom.

Govt to tighten rules on e-commerce, impose ban on 'flash sale' 

The Ministry of Consumer Affairs (MCA) on Monday suggested amendments to the Consumer Protection (E-commerce) Rules, 2020, which may tighten the functioning of large online marketplaces in the country. The new suggested rules impose a blanket ban on &lsquo;flash sale&rsquo; of goods and services conducted by e-commerce companies in the country. The MCA defines flash sale as a sale event organised by e-commerce entities at significantly reduced prices and high discounts for a predetermined period. E-commerce firms are also expected to establish adequate redressal mechanisms and appoint a Chief Compliance Officer, the MCA proposed as a part of the new rules.
These rules would impact a large swathe of players, especially companies like Flipkart and Amazon. The Department of Consumer Affairs has&nbsp;sought feedback&nbsp;from the public on the proposed changes by July 6.&nbsp;

The Indian workforce can expect an average of 7.7% increment in 2021 as per the Aon India Salary Increase Survey . This marks a rise from 6.4% last year but ex 2020 it is still the lowest salary increase since post financial crisis in 2009. (can we use the graph they have in their presentation on page 3). The rise in salaries is in co-relation with the fact the Indian economy is expected to get back on the growth track in the current year. GDP numbers due on Friday should indicate that India has exited the recession.
No surprises that e-commerce and VC backed companies are likely to see salary hikes above the national average at 10.1% . Tech companies follow in close with an expectation of 9.7% hike. It will remain a struggle for those in Hospitality sector with a projected 5.5% rise as the industry continues to limp back into shape.
Aon survey also indicates that average variable pay&nbsp; as a percentage the fixed pay will come down across sectors led by financial institutions.
With 88% companies surveyed intending to give salary increases in 2021, as compared to 75% companies in 2020 the economic indicators are seemingly on the mend. Infant at 7.7% the pay hike will be better than most major economies, including Japan, the US, China, Singapore, Germany and the UK, where the average salary growth will be between 3.1% and 5.5%.
