Zomato appoints four women directors
NEW DELHI: Restaurant aggregator and food delivery platform Zomato has appointed five independent directors, including four women, on its eight-member board.
The newly appointed independent women directors are ex-Olympian Aparna Popat, Zalora Group former chief executive officer Gunjan Tilak Raj Soni, Airveda founder Namita Gupta, and ABN Amro Bank NV (India) former head of private health business Sutapa Banerjee. The male member in this new cluster of independent directors is TARI founder Kaushik Dutta.
The other three members on this board of directors are Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal, Info Edge founder Sanjeev Bikchandani, and Ant Group SVP Douglas Faegin.
“Up until now, we had a largely investor-run board. But today, I’m elated to share that we have five independent members on our board of eight people, four of whom are women. More than gender diversity though, what we have always been gunning for is cognitive diversity across levels in our organisation. Evidence-based, research shows that a key prerequisite for innovation comes from cognitively diverse people” wrote Deepinder Goyal on Zomato’s blog.
Goyal also added that he is happy about the fact that “each of our board members come from different occupational backgrounds bringing diverse cognitive skills and perspectives to the table.”

Moneycontrol doubles ET audience in January rankings
Comscore data shows Moneycontrol ahead on reach, views and time spent
MUMBAI: Moneycontrol has begun 2026 with a decisive lead in India’s business news race, pulling in more than twice the audience of The Economic Times, according to January data from global measurement agency Comscore.
The figures make for striking reading. Moneycontrol recorded 63.38 million unique visitors last month, comfortably ahead of The Economic Times, which logged 30.61 million. In fact, Moneycontrol drew more readers than its next two business news rivals combined, tightening its grip on the category.
The advantage was not limited to reach. On page views, Moneycontrol clocked 249.25 million in January, nearly three times ET’s 97.18 million. The numbers suggest not just scale, but sustained user interest across stories, markets coverage and analytical tools.
Engagement told an even stronger story. Readers spent 581.29 million minutes on Moneycontrol during the month, more than five times the 111.90 million minutes recorded by The Economic Times. In the crowded digital marketplace, attention is currency, and Moneycontrol appears to be banking plenty of it.
“The latest numbers reflect the deep trust readers have placed in the quality of our content, the depth of our coverage of the stock markets and the cutting-edge analytical tools we provide to users,” said Moneycontrol managing editor Nalin Mehta. “In an increasingly fluid global environment, readers are looking for clarity and we remain sharply focused on providing credible, accurate and timely business information.”
Comscore’s January rankings reinforce Moneycontrol’s position at the top of India’s financial news ladder, underlining its continued dominance in both reach and reader engagement.
