Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal created quite a controversy when he shared his post about recruiting for the position of chief of staff with the condition that the applicants have to initially pay him ₹20 lakh to get a shot at the said position, which he later reassured was never part of the hiring plan. He is back again with a new job offer, and this time, he wants people to write a special subject line in the emails to him for an AI-related job position. While his post reminded some of his previous stunt, many were left intrigued by his new condition for applicants with his company.
What did Deepinder Goyal post?
Taking to X, he wrote, “I am looking to work with business and product leaders who have already started using AI as their second brain. If you are the one, please write to me at d@zomato.com. PLEASE include the phrase 'I have a second brain' in the subject line,” he wrote.

Intrigued, an angel investor replied to the X share and added, “Using AI as your ‘second brain’ can help streamline decision-making and enhance creativity, allowing you to focus on what truly matters. It's becoming a game changer for professionals.” The CEO replied, “Absolutely. My productivity is up multiple times since I embraced it.”

What did social media say?
An individual wrote, “What happened to the Chief of Staff thing? There was no reply to that.” Another asked, “Not a product leader, but I use AI for almost all my stuff, including health, sleep, work, and suggestions. Does that count?” A third added, “Best job posting. High-time people realise they need to befriend AI and work smarter!!!!!” A fourth commented, “‘I have a second brain’— and I think everyone should have this! AI makes life easier for founders by optimising decisions, automating workflows, and unlocking new possibilities. It’s not just a tool; it’s a mindset shift. Excited to see this initiative!”
