“There is no salary for this role for the first year. You will have to, in fact, pay Rs 20 lakh for this opportunity. 100% of this “fee” will be paid in the form of a donation directly to Feeding India — if you are offered the role, and you accept it. At our end, we want to demonstrate that we are not trying to save money here – we will contribute Rs 50 lakh (equivalent to a chief of staff salary) to a charity of your choice. Second year onwards, we will start paying you the usual salary (definitely definitely more than Rs 50 lakh, but something we will only talk about at the start of Year 2),” the job description for Zomato’s chief of staff read.
Goyal stated that people who apply for this role should do it for the learning opportunity it presents rather than the fancy salary.
