Billionaire food app CEO wants you to pay for the privilege of working with him
The CEO of Indian restaurant booking and food deliver app Zomato has posted a job ad in which he seeks a chief of staff who is willing to pay for the privilege of working with him.
The ad, posted to X, opens with the innocuous statement that Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal wants to hire an ambitious chief of staff. Experience is not necessary – he thinks it's overrated – but a learning mindset is required along with strong communication skills and a willingness to do the right thing even if it ruffles feathers.
The ad also admits the gig is "not a conventional role with the usual perks," and is designed to be "unattractive for most people" – because it isn't paid.
The CEO thinks that's worth it as the job involves "10x more learnings than a 2-year degree from a top management school, working with me and some of the smartest folks in consumer tech."
"We believe people who apply for this role should do it for the learning opportunity it presents, rather than for a fancy well paying job which will make you look cool in front of yourself or people you want to impress," the ad reads.
