Zomato CEO Asked The Internet To Ask Him Anything And Was Ripped Apart Within Hours

If India's rich and famous hadn't learned from the Reddit debacle of Priyanka Chopra, it was that Reddit is not just any other social network, especially if you want to pitch a glossy agenda. Maybe Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal had made his way to Reddit India, which has about 35,000 subscribers, and maybe even more lurkers, hoping to score some fanboy love. But that didn't happen.

A day later, AMA's impact is still creating ripples on Reddit India.

On the same post, this is the kind of responses we spotted

A brave defender even popped up

Here¡¯s where Deepinder Goyal went wrong

When asked about Zomato¡¯s sarcastic job post mocking Bangalore, Deepinder had a weird evasive tactic ¨C he completely denied it.

Here's some more backlash about Delhi vs Bangalore

He also denied having a daughter

He said a bunch of clich¨¦d things

Eventually, someone called him out on his attempt at sarcasm and being cool

And then, someone shut him down on technical stuff too

That one comment sparked off waves of criticism

As Huffington Post also pointed out, the one comment that received maximum upvotes was a complaints from someone possibly an Zomato employee "The culture in tech team is toxic. Contributing to open source isn't even considered. In office hackathons, people are expected to work on Zomato-related things only. How do you expect great developers to want to work in such environment?"
