In a post on X on Saturday, Goyal said, "All of this - reddit.com/r/StartUpIndia' - is utter nonsense. Neither are we losing market share, nor will we ever force our employees to order on Zomato. Freedom of choice is something we stand for vehemently." He further said "it is embarrassing to even clarify this -- but doing it since many people reached out to me with concern. And thanks everybody for your concern.. appreciate it". The Reddit post had alleged that "i
