Swiggy, one of India's leading foodtech platforms, has unveiled two significant leadership appointments to strengthen its operations and execution capabilities across its food delivery and quick commerce verticals. The moves come as the company enters the final stages of its initial public offering (IPO), with shares set to be listed on 13 November.
Shalabh Shrivastava has joined Swiggy as Senior Vice President of the Driver Org division. With over 25 years of experience spanning e-commerce, retail, technology, consulting, and investment banking, Shrivastava will focus on optimizing Swiggy’s product and operations for its delivery fleet. Before joining Swiggy, Shrivastava was Vice President at Flipkart, where he played a key role in scaling first- and last-mile operations, streamlining supply chains, and developing customer experience strategies.
Hari Kumar G has been appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Business Officer (CBO) for Swiggy Instamart, the company's quick commerce platform. Kumar, who brings a wealth of experience from his tenure at Flipkart, where he led key categories including electronics, appliances, and groceries, will focus on scaling Instamart's business and driving growth in the fast-evolving segment.
These appointments mark the latest in a series of key leadership hires at Swiggy’s Instamart division. In August, the company named Amitesh Jha as the Chief Executive Officer of Instamart and brought on Sairam Krishnamurthy as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer to further strengthen the business.
Swiggy's expansion of its leadership team reflects its continued focus on scaling operations and enhancing service delivery across both its core food delivery business and its fast-growing quick commerce vertical. The company is poised for accelerated growth as it works to solidify its market leadership in the competitive foodtech and e-commerce space.
With the IPO just around the corner, these strategic hires are expected to play a crucial role in supporting Swiggy’s long-term vision of becoming the go-to platform for food delivery, grocery, and other on-demand services in India.
