Vinay’s appointment reflects Flipkart’s continued investment in building one of India’s strongest technology leadership teams. Earlier this year, the company also strengthened its leadership bench with the appointments of:

• Goda Ramkumar, Vice President, Data Science and AI Solutions
• Mohan Palisetti, Vice President, Fintech and Payments Engineering
• Nitesh Jain, Distinguished Architect
• Smita Ojha, Vice President, Core Platform Engineering
• Amit Sharma, Vice President, Program Management

Commenting on the appointment, Balaji Thiagarajan, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Flipkart, said, “Commerce has transformed beyond purchases and transactions. Today, the quality of the customer experience is determined by thousands of decisions made across supply chains, seller ecosystems, trust systems, and fulfilment networks, often before the order is placed. Building and evolving those systems at India’s scale requires a strong combination of product thinking, technology depth, and operational rigour with pervasive intelligence embedded in every step. Vinay has led at that intersection across some of the most complex commerce environments, and he will play an important role in helping us strengthen the technology foundations that power Flipkart’s next phase of growth.”

Vinay Vaidya, Senior Vice President, Technology for Supply Chain, Flipkart, said, “What excites me most about Flipkart is the opportunity to build technology at a scale and complexity that is uniquely Indian. From empowering millions of sellers to enabling one of the country’s largest supply chains, technology has the potential to make commerce simpler, faster and more inclusive. I’m excited to join the team and help build the next generation of platforms that power this journey.”

Gunjan brings over 28 years of global finance experience across Asia and the Middle East, with deep expertise in working with high-growth technology organisations. He has previously held senior leadership positions at companies such as GE and Coupang, where he played a central role in scaling businesses, driving large transformations, managing multi-billion-dollar programmes, including operating in highly regulated, listed-company environments with strong investor, governance, and disclosure standards.

Ravi Iyer, Chief Financial Officer, Flipkart, said, “We are delighted to welcome Gunjan to Flipkart. His experience in transformation finance, capital discipline, and governance will add significant strength to eKart while supporting the Group’s long-term value creation.”

Gunjan Bhartia, Senior Vice President, Business Finance – eKart, said, “I am excited to join Flipkart and eKart at this pivotal stage of their journey. I look forward to building strong financial systems and partnerships that enable innovation, operational efficiency, and scalable growth, with a clear focus on predictability, controls, and long-term value creation as we continue to strengthen India’s digital commerce and supply chain ecosystem.”
