After NR Murty 12 Hr Work - ye dekhna baaki tha!

Would You Pay ₹20,00,000 to Work at Zomato — for a ₹0 Salary?

Yes, you read that right. Deepinder Goyal just announced a Chief of Staff vacancy for himself at Zomato, but the job comes with a huge twist. Here’s the deal:

👉🏽 No salary for Year 1. 👉🏽 Instead, you’ll have to pay ₹20,00,000 upfront for this role, and this amount will be donated to Feeding India (Zomato's charitable arm) 👉🏽 Zomato, in turn, will contribute ₹50 lakhs (equivalent to the CoS salary) from their pocket to a charity of your choice. 👉🏽 From Year 2 onwards, you’ll get a salary (and yes, it’ll be upwards of ₹50 lakhs).

But why pay for a job? Deepinder says this isn’t a role for “résumé builders” but for learners. It’s designed for those who want 10x more learning than a 2-year MBA, working directly with him and the smartest minds in consumer tech.

Is this a once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn from one of India’s top founder? Or is it an expensive gamble for aspirants?
