Unseen: The Untold Story of Deepinder Goyal and the Making of Zomato By Megha Vishwanath

THIS IS NOT A BIOGRAPHY. NOR IS IT A LINEAR MARCH FROM CHILDHOOD TO SUCCESS.

Unseen is the raw, unvarnished anatomy of a founder who refuses stability and thrives in the friction of contradictions—restless yet laser-focused, constantly flirting with high stakes and uncertain outcomes. In July 2021, as Zomato made history by becoming India's first tech unicorn to go public, its enigmatic founder, Deepinder Goyal, remained largely untouched by the reverberating glory. Instead of starting at the beginning, Unseen opens at the absolute peak, pulling readers straight into the shadows, trials, and private battles that shaped a tech titan.

Written by former journalist Megha Vishwanath, this deeply penetrating narrative follows the journey of a stuttering boy from small-town Punjab who unexpectedly grew into the reluctant face of a multi-billion-dollar brand. Assembled through hundreds of candid interviews with those who built, fought, and worked alongside Deepinar, this book strips ambition of its vanity and brilliance of its theater, revealing what truly happens when immense success arrives without peace.
