Indian CEO offers X user a job after liking his suggestions

Indian food delivery app Zomato’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Deepinder Goyal, whose app is now synonymous with food itself in India, recently shared updates on some of the new features in the app on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle. 

The updates were in continuation of the new feature update called 'Food Rescue', announced by Goyal on November 10 earlier this month. While many of his followers shared their opinions about the update, one user’s review, in particular, caught the eye of the Indian billionaire.

The new feature attempts to reduce food wastage by redirecting cancelled orders on Zomato to other potential customers. 

Goyal, while shedding light on the feature, wrote, "Canceled orders will now pop up for nearby customers, who can grab them at an unbeatable price, in their original untampered packaging, and receive them in just minutes."

An X user by the name of Bhanu shared some positive critique to prevent misuse of the new feature:

1. Should not be applicable to COD (Cash on Delivery)
2. Cancellation should not be allowed if the delivery reaches 500 m to the delivery point 
3. Chances of twi idiots sharing meals ordering and cancelling at the same time getting a discount place 
4. Less than two cancellations are allowed per month.

These pointers impressed CEO Goyal and he offered Bhanu to "work together" with him.

 
Goyal wrote, "All this and more already in place. Good thinking, by the way. Who are you and what do you do? Would love to know you more, and see if we can work together? :) DM [Direct Message] me please if you wanna chat more."

However, Bhanu seemed to be happy in his workplace as he responded to the offer to work for the food delivery company by respectfully sharing that he is based in Bangalore and is working already. "Thanks a lot. I am from Bangalore. Regularly use Blinkit. I regularly give suggestions to improve services via Twitter by tagging your company. Always thinking to reduce negative impact and improve service delivery. Working as a PM in a startup company."

The interaction caused a flare of surprise among Indian users and made it to the headlines for news outlets around the globe, especially in India.
