Deepinder Goyal, Eternal's founder, is stepping down as Group CEO, returning Rs 3.3 crore shares to the ESOP pool, valued at over Rs 1,000 crore, and forfeiting unvested employee stock options. He transitions to Vice Chairman, handing day-to-day operations to Blinkit chief Albinder Dhindsa. The move expands Eternal's ESOP pool by 16%, potentially eliminating the need for shareholder dilution.
