According to regulatory filings, Patidar said he was one of Zomato’s early employees and built the company’s core technology systems. “Over the past 10+ years, he has built an outstanding technical leadership team with the ability to propel the technical department forward.

Zomato has seen several top-level departures in the past year, including new initiative head Rahul Ganjoo and former vice president and head of Intercity Siddharth Jhawar, and his co-founder Gaurav Gupta.
