Zomato announced on February 6, 2025, that it will officially change its name to “Eternal Ltd.” This comes over two years after the company began using the new name internally. In a filing with the stock exchanges, Zomato revealed that its board had approved the name change from “Zomato Ltd” to “Eternal Ltd” on Thursday.
The name change, however, is still subject to approval from Zomato’s shareholders, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and other relevant authorities. Despite the change in the company’s official name, the brand name and app, “Zomato,” will remain unchanged.
Zomato to Rebrand as Eternal Ltd.
Zomato, the popular food delivery company, is planning to change its name to Eternal Ltd., as approved by its board of directors. This change was shared by Deepinder Goyal, the CEO of Zomato, in a letter to the company’s shareholders. However, despite the name change at the company level, Zomato will still be known by its original name for the food delivery business.
Goyal explained that this new name represents a major milestone for Zomato as the company is expanding into areas beyond just food delivery.
The decision comes after Zomato acquired Blinkit, an online grocery delivery service. To keep things separate and organized, Zomato started using the name “Eternal” internally to refer to the company itself, while still keeping Zomato as the name for the food delivery platform and app.
Before officially changing the company name, Zomato had planned to wait until a time when something other than food delivery became a major part of their business. Goyal mentioned that with Blinkit becoming a big part of their future, they feel that it’s the right moment to make this shift. The name change to Eternal Ltd. is a step toward reflecting the company’s broader ambitions and growth.
