A spokesperson for Zomato, said, "Prior to joining Zomato, full-time this month, Samir has worked with us in the capacity of a consultant and already understands the business fairly well. We are excited to have him on board and look forward to learning from and leveraging his unique experience in helping develop the restaurant industry ecosystem in India."

Kuckreja's appointment comes at a time when Zomato has chalked out plans for aggressive investments in food delivery and new businesses such as cloud kitchens.
