## Zomato CEO Expects You to Pay for the Pleasure of Working for Him – What a Cheeky Bloke
Alright, let’s get right into it, folks. Zomato’s head honcho, Deepinder Goyal, has completely misfired with a job listing that might just be the most out-of-touch move I’ve seen all year. And trust me, that’s quite the statement in a world where people still fork out £1,500 for smartphones.
### The “Job” With a Price Tag
So, this delightful little role is for a “Chief of Staff.” Sounds all posh, doesn’t it? Until you clock that Goyal thinks you should shell out cash for the privilege of working next to him. Yep, you read that right – you pay HIM. What’s next? Receiving an email from Jeff Bezos asking if you’ll cover the rent for your Amazon Prime subscription?
In his now-removed LinkedIn post – naturally, he pulled it when folks began calling him out – Goyal stated he was in search of someone “very rich, very motivated” to join him. Apparently, this job involves sitting in on his meetings, managing his inbox, and likely being his personal coffee runner. The gall! Can you imagine me popping up on my blog and saying, “Hey, stump up cash to read this review!” Get a grip, man.
### His “Five Senses” Just Piled on the Insult
Deepinder continued his rant by discussing the ideal candidate possessing “the five senses” – taste, smell, sight, hearing, and touch. Mate, you’ve just described every normal human being who isn’t a robot or a corpse. What’s next? Asking if they breathe air?
He also threw in a line about wanting someone “selfless.” Well, mate, you’d bloody well have to be selfless if you’re splashing YOUR OWN CASH for a job. At this point, I’d say you’d also need to be a bit daft.
### Is This a Publicity Gimmick, or Totally Out of Touch?
Now, I understand that some companies like to grab the spotlight, but this one’s less “Google unveils AI to better the world” and more “Jester sticks both feet in a cream pie.” The question is, was this entire episode a silly PR gimmick, or does this guy truly exist in a posh bubble where everything’s priced like a tenner?
If it’s the latter, someone needs to have a chat with him. Preferably someone who doesn’t have to spend their last pennies first.
### The Internet Knocks Him Down a Peg
Of course, the wonderful people online weren’t having any of it. The responses to the post were pure comedy – folks calling him a “narcissist,” insisting he’s “clueless,” and my personal favourite, someone asking if the job included a discount on Zomato deliveries. Top-notch banter there.
One commenter nailed it perfectly: “If you’re rich and selfless, why on earth would you want to work for someone like this?” Boom. Mic drop. You can’t dispute that, can you?
### Dripping with Arrogance and Tinged with Condescension
The whole situation just oozes that tech bro arrogance that makes me want to bash me head against the wall. “Very rich, very motivated” – as if we everyday folks could never hope to possess the skills to do the job unless we’ve got a bank account that resembles Elon Musk’s spare change.
It’s patronising, it’s elitist, and worst of all, it’s absolutely daft. If this is his strategy to attract top talent, I’ve got some bad news for you, mate: the only applicants will be either loaded numpties or bots.
### When Will They Get It?
These billionaires, eh? Drowning in cash and still expecting the rest of us to subsidise their nonsense. First, we had Mr. Zuckerberg trying to sell us the Metaverse – just a posh term for charging you to hang out in a cartoon living room. And now this.
I don’t know about you, but if I had millions in the bank, the last thing I’d do is write smug job ads asking folks to pay me for the joy of helping me make even more cash. Absolute nonsense.

Zomato Boss Deepinder Goyal Leaves a Bitter Aftertaste
So, there you have it: Deepinder Goyal, a man who’s turned a simple job listing into a major PR blunder. If you’re very rich and very motivated to work for free, give him a shout. As for the rest of us, let’s sit back, grab a pint, and thank our lucky stars we have better things to fill our time than pay for the chance of being someone else’s flunky. Cheers to that.
