AI summary

Eternal Limited founder Deepinder Goyal resigned as MD and CEO effective February 1, 2026. He stays on the board as Vice Chairman, subject to shareholder approval. Albinder Dhindsa, who heads Blinkit and led it to breakeven, takes over as new Group CEO. His unvested ESOPs return to the company pool with no incremental dilution. He plans to explore higher-risk ideas separately.

Likely market impact

Founder transition could worry investors short-term, but internal successor with strong Blinkit track record offers continuity and avoids dilution.
