Zomato Global Dining Biz Head Quits, Joins Sequoia-backed Startup Kenko Health

In his nearly four-year stint, Aman played several roles in Zomato, including setting up the food delivery business in Istanbul, Turkey, and managing the company's consumer-facing app

Aman Priyadarshi, Global Dining Business Head, Zomato, has quit the food delivery company, making him the fifth senior official to exit the company.

Aman, in a LinkedIn post said, "Throughout my career, I have been extremely fortunate to work on things I have been deeply passionate about, which has ended me in a lot of dream-like opportunities."

In his nearly four-year stint, Aman played several roles in Zomato, including setting up the food delivery business in Istanbul, Turkey, and managing the company's consumer-facing app. Now, he has joined Sequoia-backed healthtech startup Kenko Health to head its product division.

Further, he added, "Kenko Health is the hardest challenge I will face, and I look forward to potentially doing the best work of my career, building India's finest consumer-internet team, and most importantly, saving lives by freeing India from its healthcare curses."

Investors have expressed concern following the departure of senior leadership from the company on consecutive occasions and the company's inability to generate profits.

Earlier in January, Chief Technology Officer Gunjan Patidar resigned, sending Zomato's stock down 4 per cent on the first day of trading the following day.

Three top-level executives resigned in late-2022, including Rahul Ganjoo, Head of New Initiatives, and ex-Vice President and Head of Intercity Siddharth Jhawar. Gaurav Gupta, the company's co-founder, also left after a six-year tenure.

The Gurugram-based firm reported a Rs 260 crore loss in the July-September quarter of last year, followed by the widely panned acquisition of hyperlocal grocery firm Blinkit.
