Swiggy has appointed Nandita Sinha, the former Chief Executive Officer of Myntra, as the new CEO of its quick-commerce business, Instamart. It marks a significant leadership transition at a time when competition in India's rapid-delivery market is intensifying. Sinha will officially begin the role on August 3. She will succeed Amitesh Kumar Jha, who has stepped down to pursue opportunities outside the company.
Nandita Sinha is one of India’s leading executives in the consumer internet segment, having over two decades of leadership experience in e-commerce, retail, and fast-moving consumer goods. Under Sinha’s leadership, Myntra witnessed consistent growth and improved its market positioning.
Sinha’s work experience also includes serving as a leader in organizations such as Flipkart, Britannia Industries, and Hindustan Unilever. This experience gave her exposure to digital commerce, branding, and consumer-facing business, according to Sinha’s LinkedIn profile. Her varied experience will help Instamart to scale its operations.
Sinha's appointment follows the resignation of Amitesh Kumar Jha, who led Instamart during an important phase of expansion. Swiggy acknowledged his contribution in strengthening the platform, enhancing its differentiated offerings and improving operational efficiency during his tenure.
Swiggy's Managing Director and Group CEO, Sriharsha Majety, said, "I am delighted to welcome Nandita Sinha as the CEO of Instamart. Nandita is one of India's most accomplished consumer internet leaders, and I'm enthusiastic about the vision, customer obsession, and operational rigor she brings to the team we've built at Instamart."

Speaking on her new role, Sinha said, "I have long admired what the team at Instamart has built. It's a business with a strong customer-first culture, great talent and significant opportunities ahead. Instamart sits at the heart of how India shops for its everyday needs, and I look forward to working with our colleagues, partners and consumers to shape its next chapter of growth."
