Zomato has joined the select group of companies who are making significant investments in the physical and emotional health of their workforce. This group is small but increasing. In order to do this, the food delivery aggregator has hired “a new kind of CFO” – a Chief Fitness Officer, whose duties will involve closely collaborating with Zomato staff members to track and manage their health and nutrition. Anmol Gupta was chosen on July 31 by Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal to serve as the organization’s first-ever Chief Fitness Officer.
CEO Deepinder Goyal Emphasizes the Link Between Physical and Mental Health in Zomato’s New Initiative
“It is no secret that physical health – which also determines mental health is a vital force behind a high-performance individual,” Goyal wrote in a note introducing the new position. Before going into greater detail about the value of excellent health, he used his own fitness experience as an example. According to Goyal, “Great work is an outcome of good health; good health is not secondary to great work,” citing some of the ways Zomato has supported its employees’ physical and mental wellbeing. These efforts include a gym at the corporate headquarters in Gurugram, in-house mental health care, and a lax leave policy.
Chief Fitness Officer to Collaborate in Employees’ Journey of Wellness
According to Goyal, the establishment of the Chief Fitness Officer position represents “a paradigm shift in the makeup of our senior team.” The CFO’s responsibilities will also involve closely collaborating with Zomans, or Zomato employees, “in their individual journey of wellness and healthy living.” According to the CEO of Zomato, the new CFO would collaborate with an internal health team made up of trainers, nutritionists, and wellbeing specialists. The nutritionists from Zomato will be in charge of creating customised meal plans for each employee to keep track of their intake of macro- and micronutrients. Additionally, trainers will offer assistance to staff members in weightlifting, yoga, boxing, and other activities. Both beginners and experts will be catered for.

“Going forward, we are going to invest heartily behind the wellbeing of our employees, our delivery partners and our restaurant partners,” said Goyal while signing off. Anmol Gupta wrote on his LinkedIn profile that he is looking forward to “making Zomato fitter.” Gupta has worked in the health and fitness sector for more than five years. According to his LinkedIn page, he obtained an MBA after completing his B.Com at Delhi University and began working as a financial analyst in 2013. Gupta changed careers to become a strength and conditioning coach for Blackbox Functional Fitness in 2017. A year later, he co-founded Endure, a fitness platform that pays users for cycling, walking, and other forms of exercise and enables them to monetize their health objectives.
