New Delhi : Deepinder Goyal, founder and group CEO of Eternal, will be stepping down from his position and Blinkit’s CEO Albinder Dhindsa will take over, the company informed the exchanges on January 21.

“Today, I am going to step away from the Group CEO role, and subject to shareholders’ approval, will remain on the board of directors as Vice Chairman. Albinder Dhindsa (Albi) will be Eternal's new Group CEO,” Goyal said in his letter to shareholders.

This decision comes as Goyal explores different ideas. “Of late, I have found myself drawn to a set of new ideas that involve significantly higher-risk exploration and experimentation. These are the kinds of ideas that are better pursued outside a public company like Eternal,” he said in his letter.

“If these ideas belonged inside Eternal’s strategic scope, I would have pursued them within the company. They do not.”
