Quick commerce platform Instamart on Tuesday announced the appointment of former Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha as its new chief executive officer. Sinha will take charge on August 3, succeeding Amitesh Jha, who led the business through a crucial phase of expansion.
The leadership change comes as competition in India's quick commerce market continues to intensify, with players focusing on expanding assortments, improving profitability and scaling operations.
Sinha joins Instamart after serving as CEO of Myntra, where she led the fashion e-commerce platform to become India's largest player in the segment. According to the company, Myntra continued to gain market share after achieving EBITDA profitability in 2024.
Announcing the appointment, Swiggy Managing Director and Group CEO Sriharsha Majety said, "I am delighted to welcome Nandita Sinha as the CEO of Instamart. Nandita is one of India's most accomplished consumer internet leaders, and I'm enthusiastic about the vision, customer obsession and operational rigor she brings to the team we've built at Instamart."

Majety also thanked outgoing CEO Amitesh Jha for his contributions, saying, "Amitesh has provided valuable leadership to Instamart, guiding the platform through a pivotal era of growth, doubling down on Instamart’s differentiation with launches like Noice, and steadily improving our contribution margin journey. Over his tenure, he has been instrumental in scaling Instamart through a critical growth phase, building a strong, high-performing culture, and leaving the organization in a solid, well-run state.
