    Deepinder Goyal’s Zomato levels up to its final form: Eternal Ltd.

    MUMBAI: It’s official! Zomato, the brand that revolutionised food delivery in India, is stepping into a new era under the corporate name Eternal Ltd. Founder & CEO Deepinder Goyal has revealed this strategic transformation, marking a significant shift in the company’s vision beyond food delivery and into a broader, more enduring business ecosystem.

    Why the change? Well, when you’ve built a brand that’s synonymous with convenience, innovation, and sheer hustle, the next step is to future-proof it. Eternal Ltd. isn’t just a name—it’s a mindset. It represents a company that is built to last, a powerhouse that goes beyond Zomato’s food delivery dominance to encompass Blinkit, District, and Hyperpure.

    Revealing the motivation behind the rebrand, Goyal shared that Eternal isn’t about claiming invincibility—it’s about acknowledging the journey, the challenges, and the constant evolution required to stay relevant. “True permanence isn’t built on bold claims. It is forged in self-doubt, hunger, and the relentless pursuit of being better than yesterday,” he wrote in his letter to shareholders. Talk about poetic business moves!

    Beyond food, this marks the birth of a new age conglomerate. This shift signifies a larger play— Our beloved Zomato is no longer just about food. Eternal Ltd. will house four key businesses:

    Zomato (Food delivery and dining services)

     Blinkit (Quick-commerce champion)

     District (A yet-to-be-revealed exciting venture)

     Hyperpure (B2B food supply for restaurants)

    The company has already received Board approval for the name change, and once shareholders give the green light, Zomato Ltd. will officially become Eternal Ltd. The stock ticker will change from ZOMATO to ETERNAL, and the corporate website will transition from zomato.com to eternal.com.

    Seventeen years ago, Goyal started Zomato—then Foodiebay—by simply uploading restaurant menus online. Fast forward to today, and the company has become India’s first tech startup to enter the BSE Sensex, creating significant wealth for employees, investors, and shareholders alike. The journey from a menu aggregator to a top-30 listed Indian company has been nothing short of legendary.

    Eternal Ltd. aims to be bigger, bolder, and broader in its impact. With Blinkit’s meteoric rise in quick-commerce, the food-tech giant is looking at new growth engines that will keep it relevant for decades to come. This isn’t just a name change-it’s a statement of intent.

    For customers, nothing changes-Zomato will remain your favourite go-to for food cravings. But as a company, Eternal Ltd. is setting its sights on an even grander future, one where it plays a bigger role in shaping India’s digital commerce landscape.

    Final bite – A food delivery empire turning into a multi-industry conglomerate? That’s one eternal glow-up! Now, the only question that remains-what’s next on the menu?

    We are focusing on healthcare, education and emerging sectors – Mohd Saqib Khan

    MUMBAI: In the evolving landscape of digital marketing, change is the only constant. New Mumbai-based Digixpressions Media co-founders Vinay Singh and Mohd Saqib Khan have embraced this principle by adding a new logo DX as a prefix to their agency branding. The five year old digital agency has a roster of clients that’s a mixed bag: Tata Capital, Kotak securities, Yes securities, PowerUp, HDFC Sky, Asus, Axis Mutual Funds, Aditya Birla Capital, IIF Finance, Shriram Finance, Wockhardt Hospitals, UpGrad, Angel Broking,  RBL Bank, ICICI Bank and Sharekhan  – amongst many others. But the perception so far has been that its strengths lie in the BFSI sector. 

    The agency is looking at breaking from that mold  and image and is pushing aggressively  to enter healthcare, education, and emerging markets, utilising data analytics and AI-driven solutions to create strategies tailored to specific industry challenges. 

    Digixpressions co-founder & CEO Mohd Saqib Khan has been in the digital space for more than a decade having worked with companies such as Mouthshut.com and Angel One, learning the rudiments of the trade. The post-graduate degree holder in physics spoke to Indiantelevision’s Suman Baidh  about the rebranding exercise, outlining a strategic vision designed to enhance its service offerings across new sectors. He emphasised the innovative methods the agency is adopting to address the unique needs of these industries while maintaining a strong focus on delivering measurable results., Edited excerpts from the conversation:

    On what inspired the addition of the DX monogram to  DigiXpressions  how does it reflect the company’s core values and vision for the future
    With strategic rebranding and repositioning, DigiXpressions is well-positioned to transform the marketing landscape and establish new standards of innovation, growth, and influence.

By enabling campaigns that effectively relate to all these markets, DigiXpressions has significantly driven audience traction, with a 150 per cent on-average growth in consumer outreach across these sectors.  Additionally, clients have benefited from a 20 per cent improvement in conversion rates from digital campaigns targeting tier 2 and tier 3 markets.

    On specific initiatives in placing to upskill or reskill existing employees to align with the company’s forward-looking vision.
    Absolutely. To remain aligned with any industry’s trends, DigiXpressions has created structured training plans based on emerging marketing technologies, AI tools, and creative storytelling. Public-private partnerships with industry leaders for certifications, internal hackathons, and mentorships create a culture of continuous learning and innovation, equipping employees with skills to carry forward the company’s vision.

    On turning brand visibility into lasting impact and on metrics or benchmarks that DigiXpressions will use to measure success

    On any success story or campaign that illustrates that DX has already achieved this kind of impact for a client

    Mumbai: An important milestone in the global expansion of the drinktec portfolio has been reached: drink technology India is now the first trade fair to carry the ‘drinktec’ brand alongside drinktec Munich, the leading trade fair for the beverage and liquid food industry. This rebranding by Yontex highlights the significance of the Indian market. Since 2007, the drinktec team has focused on supporting stakeholders in the beverage industry.

The first edition featured 42 exhibitors and 276 m² of space; this year, 178 exhibitors are expected across about 6,000 m². Major global players consistently participate, reflecting the event’s importance for investment decisions. Last year, around 11,000 visitors attended, alternating between Mumbai and Delhi.
