Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal posted a job ad for a chief of staff position without an initial salary but requires a fee of 2 million rupees (around US$23,600).

Applicants must have top-notch communication skills to help advance Zomato’s business, including its verticals like Blinkit.

The job listing, an “opportunity” for significant learning, received mixed reactions on LinkedIn and X.

Supporters see it as offering valuable experience similar to an MBA, while critics argue it excludes those with less financial means.

Goyal promised a future salary of 5 million rupees (around US$59,000) from the second year for successful candidates.
