Indian unicorn Zomato is looking for new members to join its generative AI team.
Vaibhav Bhutani, who is working on building a central AI team for Zomato and its quick commerce business Blinkit, took to LinkedIn to share the update through an unconventional or what he calls a “clickbaity” post.
The call to action is clear: if you have built something impressive, Zomato wants to see it. Applicants are encouraged to prioritise showcasing demos of their work over simply submitting resumes.
Starting with a teaser question about Sam Altman's daily shipments, Bhutani shifts focus, challenging readers about their future contributions using LLMs and introducing them to emergent AI companies like Jonathan Ross’s Groq and Vipul Ved Prakash’s Together AI.
Interested candidates can reach out directly by sending their demos alongside their resumes to [email protected].
The expansion news comes soon after Zomato released its Q4FY24 earnings report, highlighting a robust year-over-year top-line growth of 61%, surpassing the projected outlook of 40%. This quarter also marked a milestone for Blinkit, which turned Adjusted EBITDA positive in March 2024.
According to founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal, the growth was driven by impressive increases across Zomato's B2C businesses, with the food delivery, quick commerce, and Going-out verticals growing by 28%, 97%, and 207%, respectively.
Blinkit is planning further expansion, targeting an increase from 526 to 1,000 stores by the end of FY25.
