Amid a heated debate over the 90-hour week debate, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal unveiled a “wellness plan” for its employees.

In a post on X (formally Twitter), Goyal wrote: “The health of our team @zomato has always been one of our top priorities. We have an in-house mental health team, a gym owned by a very large company at our headquarters and also have our own unique fitness director. Not to mention period leave as well as gender-neutral parental leave policies.”

“Recently, we partnered with Wellness Co (@thewellnessco_), to set up a captive wellness facility at our Gurgaon headquarters,” added Goyal.

The Zomato CEO highlighted that the facility provides access to cutting-edge therapies such as cryotherapy, red light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to its employees and their families.

He also highlighted that now more than 200 people use this center regularly and the repetition rates are very high. “We have more HR initiatives/interesting people. We will post some here soon,” added Goyal.

Goyal’s post assumes significance amid the raging 90-hour weekly narrative pushed by L&T chairman SN Subrahmanyan. Many India Inc leaders have disagreed with the concept and advocated higher quality work for the amount of time they spend at the workplace.

Some social media users have also asked if they will get paid 90 hours if they donate 90 hours. Several also asked questions about promotions, equity.

The controversy began with Subrahmanyan defending mandatory Saturday working days, joking: “What are you doing sitting at home? How long can you look at your wife?” He drew comparisons with China’s alleged 90-hour work ethic, stating which was key to economic dominance.

IIT Mandi professor Nirmalya Kajuri added another layer to the debate, noting that many countries compensate professionals for overtime, while Indian companies routinely demand 50-60 hours without pay.
