Deepinder Goyal Vs Anupam Mittal: An argument broke out between two entrepreneurs over a job post on the social media platform X. Shaadi.com CEO and Shark Tank judge Anupam Mittal has humorously commented on Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal’s unpaid job listing.
Zomato CEO had posted for a job without salary
Recently, Zomato CEO Goyal sparked a debate on social media after advertising for the role of Chief of Staff on X. As per the job profile, the selected candidate will have to donate Rs 20 lakh to Feeding India Charity and work without salary for the first year. Despite the unconventional terms of the job offer, Goyal received nearly 18,000 applications for the job after posting it.
CEO of Shaadi.com also announced for this post
However, Shaadi.com CEO Mittal responded to this incident with a sarcastic post on LinkedIn. Mittal also announced that he was looking for a Chief of Staff. Humorously admitted that he didn’t fully understand the role, but reassured applicants that his offer included a salary from day one.
Mittal wrote, “Those who are not able to give Rs 20 lakh to my friend Deepi, send me your application. I am also looking for a Chief of Staff, although I don’t know exactly what he does, I think This may be your first assignment. He also included other conditions for interested candidates.
As per their conditions candidates should be ready to do the below mentioned points –
- Accept compensation from day one…this requirement is negotiable.
- Send your resume (if you haven’t done anything yet then what’s next)
- Describe the role and value so I can prepare for interview questions
- Talk to our HR team because I don’t get paid for screening candidates
- He further said, Carry the title of Chief of what? Keep the title (thick skinned test) for 6 months
Mittal requested the candidates to apply before changing their mind. Mittal continued, “If you are willing to walk this path, to be ridiculed by the crowd in the hope that someday we will join them and find out if you are really the Chief of something Then I take credit for all your work, so ChiefOfWhat@peopleinteractive.in But write and hope I won’t change my mind.”
Lots of reactions on Mittal’s post
Many social media users have reacted to this post of Mittal.
One user wrote, “This will hurt Deepinder a lot.”
To the user’s reaction, Mittal replied, “He’s a big boy with a good sense of understanding…he can handle it.”
Another user joked: “Did you have squid at breakfast today?”
Another user commented, “Do you think they are creating the right environment for the new generation to look to them for inspiration? I disagree.”
Another user said “Anupam Mittal, this is funny! But seriously, when we joke about job offers, we should not forget that there are many people who are actually looking for opportunities. Well, I’m ready to be the ‘Chief of Figuring Things Out’.”
