Food
and
grocery
delivery
major
Zomato
on
Thursday
said
it
has
received
the
Corporate
Affairs
Ministry’s
approval
regarding
its
name
change
to
“Eternal
Limited” with
effect
from
March
20.

The
shareholders
of
Zomato
had
earlier
this
month
approved
a
special
resolution
to
rename
the
firm
‘Eternal’.

The
brand
name
of
the
company’s
food
delivery
business
Zomato
will
remain
the
same,
along
with
the
app.
However,
the
name
of
the
corporate
entity
will
change
to
Eternal
along
with
the
stock
ticker.

Eternal
will
comprise
four
major
businesses
(as
of
now)
—
Zomato,
Blinkit,
District,
and
Hyperpure.

“…We
wish
to
inform
you
that
the
Registrar
of
Companies,
Ministry
of
Corporate
Affairs
(MCA),
has
approved
the
change
in
name
of
the
company
from
“Zomato
Limited” to
“Eternal
Limited”,
with
effect
from
March
20,
2025.
The
name
of
the
company,
thus,
stands
amended
to
“Eternal
Limited”
with
effect
from
March
20,”
Zomato
said
in
a
regulatory
filing.

In
a
letter
to
shareholders
last
month,
Zomato
Founder
and
CEO
Deepinder
Goyal
said,
“Our
Board
has
approved
this
change
today
and
I
request
our
shareholders
to
also
support
this
change.
If
and
when
it
is
approved,
our
corporate
website
will
transition
from

zomato.com
to

eternal.com.
We
will
also
change
our
stock
ticker.”

He
also
informed
that
the
decision
to
publicly
rename
the
company
was
in
line
with
Blinkit
becoming
a
significant
driver
of
its
future.

“When
we
acquired
Blinkit,
we
started
using
“Eternal”
(instead
of
Zomato)
internally
to
distinguish
between
the
company
and
the
brand/app.
We
also
thought
that
we
would
publicly
rename
the
company
to
Eternal,
the
day
something
beyond
Zomato
became
a
significant
driver
of
our
future.
Today,
with
Blinkit,
I
feel
we
are
there.
We
would
like
to
rename
Zomato
Ltd,
the
company
(not
the
brand/app),
to
Eternal
Ltd,”
Goyal
stated.
