Housing.com CEO Rahul Yadav loves controversies. After resigning, then coming back, and then finally giving away all his shares to his employees, Yadav conducted an AMA on Reddit where he cheekily mocked Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal. He said that Zomato has ‘no innovation’ and all it does is ‘scans menus’. Also Read - After Zomato, Ola pilots 10-minute food delivery service in India; Swiggy in line too

This time, Goyal decided to not bring out the witty hat, and just tweeted:

In his AMA, Yadav also revealed that he isn’t a crorepati anymore, drives a rented car and has never read a book in his life. He also explained about the Housing.com logo, and explained the motive behind the tagline ‘Look Up’. He said, “Because when you Look Up you only see people who are ahead of you in terms of greatness and achievements. No matter how much you have achieved in your life, the moment you Look Up, everything gets reset and you find yourself again at level 0.”
