Swiggy Instamart's SCM Head Karan Arora Resigns

After serving for three and a half years, Karan Arora, Vice President and Head of Supply Chain Management (SCM) at Swiggy Instamart, has announced his resignation from the company.

Arora's departure adds to the increasing number of Vice Presidents (VPs) and Senior Vice Presidents (SVPs) who have exited Swiggy in the past year.

In a LinkedIn post, Arora expressed the conclusion of his exhilarating journey with Swiggy Instamart after dedicating 3.5 years to its development.

Arora remarked that while e-commerce offers a platform for exponential growth, he also recognizes the rapid pace of disruptions in this sector. He expressed excitement about teaming up with Karthik Gurumurthy to co-found something innovative.

In April 2023, Dale Vaz, the former Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Instamart, resigned to embark on his own entrepreneurial journey.

Following Vaz's departure, Ashish Lingamneni, who served as the Vice President and Head of Brand and Product Marketing, left the company in May.

Lingamneni's exit came shortly after Nishad Kenkre, the Vice President and Head of Revenue and Growth, had already departed from Instamart a few weeks prior.

Regarding Arora's departure, a spokesperson from Swiggy informed IANS, "During his tenure spanning over 3.5 years, Karan has played a significant role in establishing Swiggy Instamart. As he ventures into entrepreneurship, we offer our best wishes and complete support from the Swiggy team."

Additionally, other notable executives who have exited Swiggy include Anuj Rathi, Sidharth Satpathy, and Karthik Gurumurthy.
