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.
