Zomato co-founder and chief people officer Akriti Chopra has resigned with immediate effect after a 13-year-long tenure at the food delivery major, the company informed the stock exchange on September 27.
“Deepi, As discussed, formally sending in my resignation effective today, September 27, 2024. It’s been an incredibly enriching journey over the past 13 years. Thank you for everything. I’m always a call away. Wishing you and Eternal, the very best,” Chopra wrote in her exit mail which was uploaded on the stock exchange.
Chopra is also Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa’s wife and is a key employee at the Gurugram-based company.
Chopra joins a slew of senior-level employees who have left the company. Former CTO Gunjan Patidar had quit in January 2023 weeks after co-founder Mohit Gupta had quit the company. Around the same time, Zomato’s new initiatives head and former food delivery chief Rahul Ganjoo and Siddharth Jhawar, the head of its Intercity Legends service, had also quit.
Chopra is the fifth co-founder to exit the company in about two years, following Patidar, Pankaj Chaddhah, Gaurav Gupta and Mohit Gupta. Chaddah exited in 2018 and Gaurav Gupta in 2021.

Chopra had been with the company since 2011, when she started as a senior manager of finance and operations. She later became the chief finance officer, a role which was taken over by Akshant Goyal in 2020. In her latest role, Chopra was chief people officer at Zomato.
