Instamart names OYO’s Gautam Swaroop as chief business officer

Swiggy’s quick commerce arm Instamart on Wednesday named Gautam Swaroop, most recently chief executive officer of OYO’s international business, as its chief business officer.

Swaroop steps into the role vacated by Hari Kumar, who resigned last month along with chief operating officer Ankit Jain. Both were former Flipkart executives who had joined Instamart under CEO Amitesh Jha, himself an ex-Flipkart hand. Swiggy had said at the time that it had identified external candidates to lead the business, with a new executive expected to join within weeks.
