Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal's love life: From meeting his ex-wife Kanchan Joshi in college to finding love again in Grecia Munoz

Deepinder Goyal, the mastermind behind Zomato's rise from a quirky food-menu startup to a global delivery giant, has a love story as layered as your favourite biryani. It's full of pursuit, partnership, heartbreak, and a fresh start with love given another chance.

While much is known about his professional life, the latest being that he has stepped down as CEO of Eternals - not many know about his personal life. For the unversed, Deepinder Goyal is currently married to Grecia Muñoz, his second wife. He was earlier married to his college sweetheart, Kanchan Joshi, but their marriage couldn’t survive the test of time. Here’s a look at his tumultuous love life:From collegemates to marriageDeepinder's first love bloomed amid equations and late-night study sessions at IIT Delhi, where he studied Mathematics and Computing. There, he met Kanchan Joshi, a brilliant MSc student in the same department.

Smitten, he "chased her for six months," as he shared in a Forbes interview - hanging in labs and building banter. After dating for some time, the duo tied the knot in 2007, taking their relationship to the next level. Deepinder called it harmony: "We understand each other very well. We haven’t fought in years.

"Post-wedding, life accelerated for Deepinder. Roughly a year after getting married, in 2008, he co-founded Zomato with Pankaj Chaddah.

Kanchan stood by him as the startup boomed. Their joy doubled in 2013 with the birth of their daughter, Sitara Goyal. Theirs seemed to be a steady love: mutual respect, no public fights, shared parenting. In earlier interviews, Deepinder often praised the stability, crediting Kanchan's support.

Yet, as Zomato scaled and stresses mounted, cracks formed privately in their marriage. The former couple parted ways quietly, prioritising Sitara.
