Swiggy appointed former Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha as Instamart CEO from August 3, replacing Amitesh Jha. The leadership reset aims to improve quick-commerce execution, regain share from Blinkit and Zepto, and sustain profitability; shares rose nearly 8%.

Why this matters

The CEO change follows Instamart's resurfaced physical retail experiment and its tests of physical retail beyond the delivery-only quick-commerce model.

Leadership is steady, with 941 signals recorded over the past 90 days.
