**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Food delivery giant Zomato has announced a significant sponsorship deal with Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat, expanding its presence in the sports sponsorship arena. The partnership, announced by Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal, follows a lighthearted exchange between Goyal and Goyat on the Netflix show, “The Kapil Sharma Show.”
Goyat, a WBC Asia titleholder, subtly hinted at a potential sponsorship during the show, prompting Goyal to take action. The sponsorship will see Zomato support Goyat as he competes in a high-profile match against Brazilian fighter Whindersson Nunes as part of the undercard for the much-anticipated Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs. Serrano 2 boxing event (rescheduled from July 20th). This event will be streamed live on Netflix, providing Goyat with considerable global exposure.
Goyal praised Goyat’s “inspiring story and attitude,” noting the boxer’s unique achievement of being the only Indian boxer to participate in the Paul vs. Tyson mega-event. The sponsorship represents a strategic move for Zomato to leverage Goyat’s growing popularity and global platform.
