Zomato board approves renaming company to ‘Eternal’ Food tech major Zomato has received board approval to change its legal name from ‘Zomato Ltd’ to ‘Eternal Ltd.’ On February 6th, Zomato’s board approved a resolution to rename the company from ‘Zomato Limited’ to ‘Eternal Limited,’ according to a regulatory filing sourced from the National Stock Exchange. “When we acquired Blinkit, we started using “Eternal” (instead of Zomato) internally to distinguish between the company and the brand/app. We also thought that we would publicly rename the company to Eternal, the day something beyond Zomato became a significant driver of our future. Today, with Blinkit, I feel we are there. We would like to rename Zomato Ltd., the company (not the brand/app), to Eternal Ltd,” said Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO of Zomato. Goyal added that the company’s corporate website will transition from zomato.com to eternal.com. Additionally, its stock ticker will change from ZOMATO to ETERNAL. As of now, Eternal will comprise four major businesses: Zomato, Blinkit, District, and Hyperpure. The development comes weeks after Zomato’s quarterly results and a couple of months after its $1 billion fundraise via QIP. The Gurugram-based company’s revenue from operations surged 64.4% to Rs 5,405 crore in Q3 FY25, compared to Rs 3,288 crore in Q3 FY24. However, its profit took a hit, slipping 57.2% YoY to Rs 59 crore during the period. Meanwhile, the company re-entered the 10–15 minute food delivery space and invested Rs 500 crore in its quick commerce subsidiary, Blinkit. Zomato also made history as the first new-age Indian tech company to join the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex 30, replacing JSW Steel Limited in India’s benchmark index of the top 30 companies.
