Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal, an Indian tech entrepreneur, has invested US$25 million from his own wealth to advance his business. He invested in ‘Continue Research’, a research-driven project concentrating on human-health monitoring, preventative care, and ageing.
Founder of food-delivery behemoth Zomato and its parent company Eternal Foodworks Limited, Deepinder Goyal made clear that Continue Research will be completely separately funded and free from his operational business interests. The change points to a major investment in longevity, life sciences, and the frontier of deep biology.
Goyal intends, under the new grant, to support scientists, nascent firms, and entrepreneurial teams all around researching methods to decelerate, halt, or even reverse biological ageing, while developing next-generation health-tracking instruments. Zomato ceo deepinder goyal stated in a post, “We think biology could be much simpler than we’ve made it.” ‘Continue Research’ has positioned itself during the last two years not as a typical startup seeking market exit but as a long-term research engine with one goal to improve people’s quality of life and longevity. Its purview spans biometrics, mental-wellness technologies , sleep science, and nutritional science.
Zomato ceo deepinder goyal stressed in his public remarks that the goal is ambitious: enabling a “general population lifespan of 180+ years for actual change to take place”. He characterized the current moment as the “tail-end of the study on this hypothesis,” implying that breakthroughs could be only around the corner. The promised finance changes ‘Continue Research’ on a worldwide seed-backer for the long-lasting space show. Goyal believes that human health, ageing, and the next major tech frontier lay preventative science instead of just consumer internet.

Although his main emphasis is still on running Zomato and other companies, this effort is designed to operate differently and independently. With this investment, Continue Research joins the competitive field with other deep-science companies and longevity-bet enterprises, but what distinguishes it is the philanthropic-style support.
