Swiggy Appoints Former Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha to Lead Instamart

Swiggy has appointed former Myntra Chief Executive Officer Nandita Sinha as the new CEO of Instamart, effective August 3, 2026. She succeeds Amitesh Kumar Jha, who has stepped down to pursue opportunities outside the company after leading Instamart through a significant phase of growth and expansion. The leadership transition comes as Swiggy sharpens its strategy in India’s increasingly competitive quick commerce market.

Nandita Sinha brings over two decades of leadership experience across consumer internet, retail, FMCG, and e-commerce. Before joining Swiggy, she served as CEO of Myntra, where she led the fashion e-commerce platform through multiple phases of business growth and digital innovation. Earlier in her career, she held leadership positions at Flipkart, Britannia Industries, and Hindustan Unilever, building deep expertise in customer experience, brand strategy, business operations, and digital transformation.

Her appointment comes at a crucial time for Instamart as India’s quick commerce sector continues to witness rapid expansion and intensifying competition. Companies including Blinkit, Zepto, Amazon, and Flipkart are aggressively expanding their networks, investing in faster deliveries, and strengthening their grocery businesses. Swiggy expects Sinha’s consumer-centric leadership and operational expertise to support Instamart’s next phase of sustainable growth and innovation.

As CEO of Instamart, Nandita Sinha will lead the platform’s overall business strategy, operational excellence, customer experience, and long-term growth initiatives. Her appointment reflects Swiggy’s commitment to strengthening leadership capabilities while positioning Instamart for continued expansion in one of India’s fastest-growing digital commerce segments.
