Swiggy taps Flipkart’s Jha as Instamart CEO

Food and grocery delivery giant Swiggy has appointed Flipkart’s veteran Amitesh Jha as CEO of its quick commerce business, Swiggy Instamart, effective September 4. Jha brings over two decades of e-commerce experience, joining at a time of increasing competition in the quick commerce space.

The appointment comes as part of a broader leadership reshuffle at Swiggy. The company’s co-founder Phani Kishan, who currently heads Instamart, will transition to overseeing Swiggy’s central growth unit. Kishan will focus on initiatives like Swiggy One loyalty programme and serve as chief of staff to co-founder Sriharsha Majety.
