Overview
- More than 8,000 emails hit the back@eternal.com inbox within a week, with about 4,000 from former Zomato/Eternal employees and the rest from prospective hires.
- Goyal said the team is reviewing every message but the volume will take time to process, so those who worked with him directly were told to WhatsApp him for a faster reply.
- He described the emails as deeply personal and “full of emotions and honesty,” often recalling events from five, ten or fifteen years that current teams lack context to assess.
- The outreach, announced publicly on X earlier this month, seeks to re-engage alumni across the Eternal ecosystem, which includes Zomato, Blinkit, District, Hyperpure, Nugget and Feeding India.
- Goyal noted that more than 400 people are already in their second or third stints at Eternal, highlighting an established pattern of rehiring alumni.
