New Delhi–Swiggy has appointed former Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha as the new chief executive of its quick-commerce business, Instamart, following the resignation of Amitesh Kumar Jha.
Sinha will take over as CEO of Instamart on Aug. 3, 2026, Swiggy said Tuesday.
Jha submitted his resignation on July 28 to pursue opportunities outside the company and immediately ceased to be a member of Swiggy’s senior management.
Swiggy thanked Jha for his contributions during a key period in Instamart’s expansion.
“The company places on record its appreciation for the valuable contributions and guidance provided by Amitesh Kumar Jha during his association with the company,” Swiggy said in a regulatory filing.
Sinha brings more than 20 years of experience in consumer-focused businesses. Before joining Instamart, she served as CEO of Myntra and previously held leadership roles at Flipkart, Britannia Industries and Hindustan Unilever.
Her experience spans fashion, e-commerce and the fast-moving consumer goods sector.
Swiggy Group CEO Sriharsha Majety described Sinha as one of India’s most accomplished consumer internet executives and said her customer-focused approach and operational experience would help guide Instamart through its next stage of growth.
Majety also credited Jha with leading the quick-commerce business through a pivotal period. He said Jha helped launch initiatives including Noice, strengthened Instamart’s differentiation strategy and improved contribution margins.
The leadership change follows several executive and board departures at Swiggy since its public listing. Recent exits have included Company Secretary and Compliance Officer M. Sridhar, Independent Director Sahil Barua, nominee directors Sumer Juneja, Anand Daniel and Roger Clark Rabalais, co-founder Lakshmi Nandan Reddy Obul, and Instamart executives Ankit Jain and Hari Kumar.
