Swiggy Instamart appointed former Hindustan Unilever executive Sairam Krishnamurthy as COO, bringing consumer goods experience into its quick-commerce arm.

Why this matters

Resurfacing of the August 2024 COO hire follows related leadership churn at Swiggy Instamart, including ex-architect Karthik Gurumurthy departing to launch a new $3 Mn venture backed by Matrix Partners India.

Leadership signals steady at 778 over the past 90 days.
