Zomato CEO's Controversial Job Offer: Pay to Work Scheme Sparks Debate

Zomato's CEO, Deepinder Goyal, advertised a chief of staff position requiring applicants to pay 2 million rupees and work without salary for a year, sparking backlash on social media. Goyal later revealed the fee was a stunt to gauge interest, attracting over 18,000 applicants in 24 hours. Critics argue the move excluded talented candidates lacking financial privilege, highlighting issues of inequality in job opportunities. Goyal stated the stunt won't be repeated and emphasized the importance of fair compensation.
