The Prime Minister's praise came in response to an inspiring anecdote shared by Goyal during a gathering organised by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, known as Vishesh Sampark. "When I told my dad about starting Zomato, he said, 'Janta hai tera baap kaun hai?' which basically meant 'You can't do a startup.' Coming from a small town in Punjab, this was the mindset," Goyal shared.
