Would You Pay ?20,00,000 to Work at Zomato — for a ?0 Salary? Yes, you read that right. Deepinder Goyal just announced a Chief of Staff vacancy for himself at Zomato, but the job comes with a huge twist. Here’s the deal: ???? No salary for Year 1. ???? Instead, you’ll have to pay ?20,00,000 upfront for this role, and this amount will be donated to Feeding India (Zomato's charitable arm) ???? Zomato, in turn, will contribute ?50 lakhs (equivalent to the CoS salary) from their pocket to a charity of your choice. ???? From Year 2 onwards, you’ll get a salary (and yes, it’ll be upwards of ?50 lakhs). But why pay for a job? Deepinder says this isn’t a role for “résumé builders” but for learners. It’s designed for those who want 10x more learning than a 2-year MBA, working directly with him and the smartest minds in consumer tech. Is this a once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn from one of India’s top founder? Or is it an expensive gamble for aspirants? Would you take it? Let me know your thoughts! PS: The application process is as unique as the role—no résumés required, just a 200-word cover letter emailed directly to [email protected]. Good luck if you’re applying!
This will now corrupt the Indian job market smaller companies and cheap founders start asking money citing Zomatao .
Rupal Madhup btw bs muje bhi itna bda aadmi bnna h ki me saamne valon ko hire krne k paise bhi ussi se loon and usko phir agle 1 saal tk salary bhi naa doon..??????
One issue I see is that this model inherently promotes people who come from an affluent background. It’s not easy for people to afford 20L + fund living expense for a year. Especially when the role is looking for freshers largely. While it might not have been the intention, this should be thought through.
Am sure 90% of the people will actually love to work on this criteria
Rupal Madhup Technically you're paying your MBA fees to Zomato for the sure shot placement. It's not a bad deal considering, you're taking an education loan and wasting two years of time while this opportunity gives you direct access to a mixture of learning, experience and sort of corporate all together. All the best, to whosoever is being chosen.
Rupal Madhup can't you just cut my salary amount of 20L and remaining you can pay for the 2nd year? This should be allowed if yes then I'm in! :)
How smart minds will arrange an enormous amount ? Rupal Madhup Essay tak to theek hai ...
Step 1 - invest 20 lacs in a small food stall. Or two. Hedge your bets. Step 2 - list on zomato Step 3 - profit Rupal Madhup
