'Eternal Mai Wo Baat Nahi Hai...': : Zomato’s Name Change Shocks Social Media, Sparks Frenzy

In a surprising decision, popular food delivery company Zomato has changed its name from Zomato Limited to Eternal Limited, the company informed on Thursday.

Deepinder Goyal, CEO of Zomato, made this announcement on his official social media handle on X by posting the formal announcement letter.

“We would like to inform you that the board of directors of the company, vide resolution dated February 6, 2025, has approved the change in the name of the company from ‘Zomato Ltd’ to ‘Eternal Ltd,’" the company said in the filing. However, it is important to note that the Zomato app will not be renamed, but the new corporate entity will also include four verticals namely, Zomato, Blinkit, District, and Hyperpure.

In a letter to shareholders, Zomato boss Deepinder Goyal said Eternal is a “powerful name" and a tall order to live up to. “This isn’t just a name change; it is a mission statement. A reminder etched into our identity that we will endure—not because we are here, but because we need to get there," he added.
