(Reuters) -Indian food and grocery delivery platform Zomato said on Thursday it will rename the company to "Eternal" and unveiled a new logo, a move that comes more than two years after it began using the new name internally.

In a move that has surprised many, the online food delivery platform, Zomato, has decided to change the name of its parent company ‘Zomato Limited’ to ‘Eternal Limited.’ In a letter to shareholders, Zomato boss Deepinder Goyal said that the company's board has approved the name change.

Eternal is not a new name that Zomato had adopted suddenly, instead they first used the name when the company acquired quick-services application, Blinkit.

The decision to rename Zomato Ltd. to Eternal Ltd. stems from the company's broader vision of building an enduring institution that lasts beyond its current leadership. "We shape our institutions, and then they shape us," he said, emphasizing that Eternal is more than just a name change--it represents a mission statement.
