Swiggy names former Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha to lead Instamart
Nandita Sinha will become CEO of Swiggy’s quick-commerce unit Instamart effective August 3. Swiggy shares rose more than 7% following the leadership announcement.
Swiggy shares gained after appointing former Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha to lead Instamart from August 3. HUL recovered following earnings commentary, while Varun Beverages rose despite below-expectation India volume growth affected by April weather disruptions.
Why this matters
The appointment follows a prior signal on Sinha joining Instamart and comes as Bengaluru restaurants threaten a Swiggy and Zomato boycott over fees and settlements. Swiggy's 2023 LYNK acquisition also expanded its food and grocery retail reach.
