“This isn’t just a change of roles. It’s a signal for the kind of leadership we need as we move into
our next chapter. Leadership is not just about knowing what to do. It’s about learning how to see. Seeing the invisible cause and effect,” Goyal wrote in an email to employees.

“We need leaders who listen not to reply, but to understand.”

As per the exchange filing, Mangla is currently the Head of Product for food ordering and delivery at Eternal.

“Aditya has also been one of the few leaders in the food delivery team who regularly runs into
disagreements and pushes back with me. And I deeply value that,” Goyal’s mail further added.

Since joining Eternal in March, 2021, Mangla has taken up multiple leadership roles within food delivery business including Head of Supply and Head of Customer Experience, focusing on optimizing restaurant partner ecosystems and enhancing customer satisfaction across digital touchpoints.

He holds a PGP in Management from the Indian School of Business where he was a Torchbearer Awardee, a master’s degree in Information Networking from Carnegie Mellon University, and undergraduate engineering degree in IT from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology.

“We don’t need more people who agree with everything…That’s the kind of leader I aspire to be,” the mail said.
