Hari Menon steps down as BigBasket CEO, Amazon veteran Amit Nanda takes charge

BigBasket co-founder Hari Menon has stepped down as chief executive officer of the online grocery platform, the company announced on June 16, ending a nearly 15-year stint at the helm. Tata Digital-backed BigBasket has appointed Amit Nanda, formerly director of seller partner services at Amazon India, as the new CEO. Menon will continue to serve on the company’s board along with co-founder Vipul Parekh.

“Having built BigBasket from its inception to its current position as one of India’s most trusted consumer platforms, I am delighted to welcome Amit as CEO. His deep understanding of consumers, strong track record of building and scaling businesses, and extensive experience across e-commerce and consumer sectors make him uniquely positioned to lead BigBasket for its journey ahead,” Menon said.
