The job posting for Swiggy's "Gifting Curator" has generated significant buzz on X, with many users drawing comparisons to Zomato's unconventional hiring announcement in November. One user commented, "This is super stuff."

Another wrote, "After reading the first line I thought Swiggy is hiring a chief of staff as well."

A third said, "Thanks for working on solving the gifting issue. My wife and I have spent countless hours deciding on “thoughtful” gifts for every occasion that pops up on the calendar. Hope the product you guys build is stellar!"

Recently, Zomato's CEO, Deepinder Goyal, had posted about a unique "chief of staff" role that required the employee to pay Zomato Rs 20 lakh in the first year, with a salary of over Rs 50 lakh in the second year.

"I am looking for a chief of staff for myself. However, this role is not a conventional role with the usual perks that such jobs come with. We are making this job unattractive for most people. There is no salary for this role for the first year. You will have to pay Rs 20 lakh for this opportunity. 100% of this 'fee' will be paid in the form of a donation directly to Feeding India. Second year onwards, we will start paying you the usual salary (definitely more than Rs 50 lakh, but something we will only talk about at the start of Year 2,'' Mr Goyal wrote.
