Months after British supercar manufacturer Aston Martin launched its groundbreaking GT car, the DB12, in India, it was bought by Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal. With this, he became the first owner of the Rs 4.59 crore supercar in the country, News18 reported.
Photos of the car were shared by the handle Automobili Ardent India on Instagram. “The very first Aston Martin DB12 in the country! Delivered via Aston Martin New Delhi, this stunner comes painted in Satin Aston Martin Racing Green. What a stunner this is under the sun," the post read.
Although Deepinder Goyal has not spoken about his passion for sportscars in public, he owns a fleet of them which includes a Ferrari Roma, a Porsche 911 Turbo S, a Lamborghini Urus, and a Porsche Carrera S.
Speaking about the Zomato boss's fascination for luxury cars, former Shark Tank India judge and ex-BharatPe founder Ashneer Grover had claimed that Goyal would buy sportscars after every round of funding.
"I am passionate about cars and it's not just me, it's everyone. Jaise Zomato ka founder hain Deepinder, sabse zyada shauk usko tha. Jab bhi uska round raise hota tha uski nai sports car aa jati thi toh hum bade chidte the (Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal was obessesed with cars. He would buy a sports car every time he got a round of funding and we would get a bit annoyed because he would get to ride luxury cars)," Grover said in a podcast last year. "He would drive sports cars even 10 years ago."
He added that Albinder Dhindsa, founder and CEO of Blinkit, also got himself a Range Rover after a couple of round of funding.
