Swiggy Instamart leadership changes

Entities: Nandita Sinha · Myntra · Amitesh Kumar Jha · Sriharsha Majety · Swiggy Instamart

Overview

Swiggy’s quick‑commerce unit Instamart has undergone a senior‑management reshuffle in July 2026. On 1 July, the division hired Gautam Swaroop as chief business officer. A few weeks later, former Myntra chief executive Nandita Sinha was announced as the new chief executive, effective 3 August, succeeding Amitesh Kumar Jha, who resigned on 28 July to explore opportunities outside the company. Swiggy Group CEO Sriharsha Majety praised Sinha’s two‑decade track record across e‑commerce, retail and FMCG, and said her customer‑centric approach will drive the next growth phase. The changes come amid intensifying competition in India’s fast‑commerce market, with rivals such as Blinkit, Zepto, Amazon and Flipkart expanding dark‑store networks, and follow a series of senior departures after Swiggy’s public listing.
