UNSEEN

This is not a biography. Nor is it a linear march of a man from childhood to success. Unseen is the anatomy of a founder who doesn’t chase stability but thrives in contradictions―restless yet laser focused, flirting with high stakes and uncertain outcomes. In July 2021, as Zomato became India’s first tech unicorn to go public, its founder, Deepinder Goyal, was largely untouched by the reverberating glory. Unseen begins where most stories end, at the peak, only to pull you into the shadows that shaped it. Through the eyes of former journalist Megha Vishwanath, this is the deeply personal journey of a stuttering boy from small-town Punjab who grew into the reluctant face of a billion-dollar brand. Vishwanath pieces the narrative through hundreds of interviews, capturing the voices of those who worked with Deepinder, fought with him and followed him―through years of watching him build, break and build again. Assembled from fragments of private battles, impossible questions and split-second decisions that altered the course of one of the largest companies of our generation, this book reveals what happens when ambition is stripped of vanity, brilliance sheds its theatre and success arrives without peace.
