Zomato is popular for its witty and cheeky notifications. Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal recently shared the story behind it on Netflix at the Great Indian Kapil Show. Kapil questioned Deepinder whether 'flirty' notifications were for customers or if he mistakenly sent a message meant for his wife, Gia Goyal.
Responding to Kapil's question, Goyal said,“A couple of times, it happened that I typed for Gia, and I thought I'd send them a nice notification. But not much. Let me tell you what happened. Our marketing team is very young. They don't have any background in marketing. They are passionate people.”
