His body fat percentage also underwent an impressive transformation, decreasing from 28 percent to an admirable 11.5 percent.
In his blog post, Goyal elaborated on the multifaceted role of the newly appointed CFO. The Chief Fitness Officer will be actively engaged in supporting Zomato's employees on their individual journeys toward wellness and healthy living. Collaborating with trainers, nutritionists, and well-being counselors, the CFO's responsibilities encompass a comprehensive range of initiatives.
Trainers will provide guidance in weight and strength training, yoga, boxing, and more, catering to individuals with varying levels of fitness experience. Nutritionists will contribute by devising meal plans that closely monitor macro and micronutrient intake, ensuring a holistic approach to nutrition.
Beyond these fitness-centric endeavors, Goyal has also announced the establishment of a fitness facility in Gurugram to promote an active lifestyle among employees. He also revealed further progressive policies including period leaves to support women's health, and Parental leaves of 6 months for parents, including those in same-sex relationships, as well as parents through surrogacy and adoption.
