Eternal doubles staff in FY25 on expansion drive
Hindustan Times Rajasthan
|July 30, 2025
Eternal, formerly known as Zomato, more than doubled its workforce in FY25 as the company expanded its quick commerce business, Blinkit, and the going-out vertical District.
Most of the hiring has gone into Blinkit, and District—verticals that are capital-and labour-intensive, requiring last-mile delivery staff, dark store operators, and local sales teams, according to the company’s annual report for FY25.
Doubling a workforce in a single year is rare even in high-growth sectors and usually reflects hyper-scaling driven by new funding, expansion bets, or pre-IPO momentum, said Vivek Mehta, partner at ABC Consultants.
