Deepinder Goyal Vs Anupam Mittal: A debate broke out between two entrepreneurs over a job post on social media platform X. Shaadi.com CEO and Shark Tank judge Anupam Mittal has jokingly commented on Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal's no-salary job listing. 

Zomato CEO posted a job without salary

Recently, Zomato CEO Goyal sparked a debate on social media after he advertised for a Chief of Staff role on X. According to the job profile, the selected candidate will have to donate Rs 20 lakh to the Feeding India charity and work without a salary for the first year. Despite the unconventional job offer conditions, Goyal received nearly 18,000 applications for the job after posting it.

The CEO of Shaadi.com also made an announcement for this post

However, Shaadi.com CEO Mittal responded to this incident with a sarcastic post on LinkedIn. Mittal also announced that he was looking for a Chief of Staff. He jokingly admitted that he did not fully understand the role, but assured applicants that his offer included salary from day one.

"Those who are not able to pay Rs 20 lakh to my friend Deepi, please send me your application. I am also looking for a Chief of Staff, though I don't know exactly what he does, I think this could be your first assignment," Mittal wrote. He also included other conditions for interested candidates.

As per their terms and conditions candidates must be ready to do the below mentioned points -

• Accept compensation from day one...this requirement is negotiable.
• Send your CV (if you haven't achieved anything till now then what next)
• Describe the role and value so I can prepare for interview questions
• Speak to our HR team as I don't get paid for screening candidates
• He further said, "Carry the title of Chief of What? Keep the title for 6 months (thick skinned test)" 

Mittal urged the candidates to apply before he changes his mind. Mittal further said, "If you are ready to walk this path, ready to be ridiculed by the crowd in the hope that we will join them someday and find out if you are really the Chief of something while I take credit for all your work, then write to ChiefOfWhat@peopleinteractive.in and hope I don't change my mind." 

There was a flood of reactions on Mittal's post

Many social media users have reacted to this post of Mittal.

"This will hurt Deepinder a lot," wrote one user.

To this reaction from the user, Mittal replied, "He is a big boy who has the sense to understand it...he can handle it."

Another user joked, "Did you have sarcasm for breakfast today?" 

Another user commented, "Do you think they are creating the right environment for the new generation who are looking up to them for inspiration? I disagree."

Another user said, "Anupam Mittal, this is funny! But seriously, when we joke about job offers, we should not forget that there are a lot of people who are actually looking for opportunities. By the way, I am ready to become the 'Chief of Figuring Things Out'."
