Deepinder Goyal, the group CEO and co-founder of Zomato, addressed shareholders in a letter where he explained the rationale behind the change.
“When we acquired Blinkit, we began using ‘Eternal’ internally to distinguish between the company itself and the Zomato brand/app,” Goyal said in a letter to the Bombay Stock Exchange. He went on to note that the renaming is a response to the growing significance of Blinkit, which has become a major driver of the company’s future. “Today, with Blinkit, I feel we are there,” Goyal said.
The announcement quickly sparked a flurry of reactions across social media, with netizens reacting cheekily. Take a look:

Zomato changing its name to Eternal feels like that one friend who suddenly gets philosophical after midnight. 🍕
