I am very emotional as I write this and don’t think any words can do justice to how I am feeling right now," Gupta said in a company-wide email he sent earlier today. In response to the communique, Goyal responded with: "Thank you GG for everything you have helped Zomato achieve over the last few years. We have seen Zomato through great as well as terrible times together and brought it here today. There’s so much of our journey still ahead of us, and I am thankful that you are hanging your boots at a point where we have a great team and leadership to carry us forward."
