Swiggy IPO: As the initial public offering of food and grocery delivery giant Swiggy is around the corner, Zomato founder and group CEO Deepinder Goyal said that listing of another food tech company would benefit the industry.

In an exclusive conversation with Moneycontrol, Goyal said it is "good for the sectors to have multiple companies".
"But I do not know anything else, we really focus on our own job," Zomato CEO said, adding, "We don't care about anything else. What's going on out there, nothing."
