Sanjeev Bikhchandani Shifts Focus from Recruitment to Zomato Investment

Sanjeev Bikhchandani, founder of Info Edge, has shifted his focus from the recruitment business to his investment in Zomato, where Info Edge holds a 12.24% stake. Since investing around INR 86 crore by 2013, Bikhchandani's fortunes have become increasingly linked to Zomato's valuation amid a slowdown in IT hiring. This marks a strategic pivot from Info Edge's traditional recruitment operations toward the food delivery sector.
