Food delivery and quick commerce platform Swiggy has announced key leadership changes, including the exit of co-founder Nandan Reddy and the elevation of senior executives to its board.
Nandan Reddy Steps Down
Nandan Reddy will step down from Swiggy’s board and exit the company to pursue independent ventures. He had most recently been leading Crew, Swiggy’s concierge app.
Following his departure, the Crew business will now be overseen by Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Swiggy’s food marketplace.
Board Elevations
Swiggy has elevated:
- Phani Kishan Addepalli, Co-founder & Chief Growth Officer
- Rahul Bothra, Group Chief Financial Officer
Both have been appointed as Executive Directors on the company’s board.
Kishan has been instrumental in driving Swiggy’s business strategy, partnerships, and cross-platform initiatives, while Bothra has led its financial strategy and governance, especially during its transition from a venture-backed startup to a publicly listed company.
New Nominee Director from Prosus
In another board-level change, Renan De Castro Alves Pinto has been appointed as Nominee Director representing Prosus Ventures, replacing Roger Rabalais.
Pinto brings over two decades of experience across corporate finance and technology, and currently serves as Group CFO at Despegar.
Leadership Commentary
Swiggy CEO Sriharsha Majety noted that both Kishan and Bothra have played a crucial role in shaping the company’s growth and will be central to its next phase.
Strategic Context
The leadership reshuffle comes as Swiggy continues to scale its food delivery and quick commerce operations while navigating intense competition from players like Blinkit and Zepto. Strengthening governance and leadership depth appears to be a key priority as the company enters its next growth phase.
