Move strengthens governance as company prepares for next growth phase
Flipkart has appointed Jane Duke as its new Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer (CECO) for the Flipkart Group. In her new role, Duke will lead the group’s ethics and compliance function and work closely with the senior leadership team.
The appointment underscores Flipkart’s focus on strengthening governance and institutional leadership as it scales operations and prepares for its next phase of growth, including plans to file for an initial public offering (IPO), according to sources familiar with the matter.
Leadership focus on transparency and integrity
Commenting on the appointment, Kalyan Krishnamurthy, CEO of Flipkart Group, said Duke’s deep experience across ethics, compliance and governance in large, global organisations would play a critical role in reinforcing the company’s commitment to transparent and responsible business practices.
He added that as Flipkart continues to grow, building strong institutional foundations and a culture of integrity is central to creating sustainable, long-term value for all stakeholders.
Nearly three decades of compliance and enforcement experience
Jane Duke brings close to 30 years of experience across public-sector enforcement and enterprise-level compliance leadership. She joins Flipkart from Tyson Foods, where she served as vice-president and associate general counsel, and earlier as chief compliance officer. In that role, she oversaw regulatory compliance, government investigations, litigation, enterprise risk management and business legal support.
Earlier in her career, Duke spent over a decade with the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas, including serving as US Attorney from 2007 to 2011.
Strengthening governance ahead of IPO
Duke said she was excited to join Flipkart at a pivotal stage of its journey and looked forward to strengthening robust, scalable and technology-enabled ethics and compliance practices to support the company’s long-term growth ambitions.
The appointment follows Flipkart’s December announcement of adding former Meta executive Dan Neary to its board, further signalling the company’s emphasis on governance as it moves toward the public markets.
