Zomato is an Indian multinational restaurant aggregator and food delivery company. Based in Gurugram, a satellite city of India's capital New Delhi, the company was founded in 2008 as Foodiebay, and was renamed Zomato in January 2010 as Zomato Media Pvt Ltd. It offers services like home delivery of food, restaurant discovery, menus, reviews, online table reservations, special discounts while eating at select restaurants, and digital payments when dining out. It also works with restaurant partners to provide tools that enable them to engage and acquire more customers while empowering them with a last-mile delivery service and a one-stop procurement solution – Hyperpure, for ingredients and kitchen products. As of March 2021, Zomato was present in 525 cities in India, with 3,89,932 active restaurant listings along with a presence in 24 countries and in more than 10,000 cities outside India. Deepinder Goyal is the founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Zomato. On July 23, 2021, Zomato went public, opening its Initial public offering (IPO) at a price band of Rs 72-76 per share. It made a stellar debut on Dalal Street as the stock opened at Rs 116 on the NSE, a 52.63 percent premium to its final offer price of Rs 76.
