“These 13 years have been an incredibly enriching journey. Thank you for everything,” Chopra wrote, highlighting the significance of her tenure.
What’s next for Akriti Chopra?
Her departure marks the end of an era, as she had been with Zomato since 2011, starting as a senior manager and rising through the ranks to become Chief Financial Officer before taking on her most recent role.
What happened in Zomato?
This resignation follows a pattern of leadership changes at Zomato. In 2022, co-founders Gunjan Patidar and Mohit Gupta also left the company. These shifts in the executive team come at a crucial time for Zomato as it navigates the competitive and rapidly evolving food delivery market in India.
Chopra’s departure raises questions about Zomato’s future direction and talent retention strategies in an industry known for its high turnover rates and intense competition for top talent.
