Flipkart is losing two more senior executives, business finance SVP Gunjan Bhartia and Amer Hussain, the supply chain VP covering Grocery and Minutes, per Moneycontrol. Both are leaving within a year of arriving, Bhartia in December and Hussain in January. Group CFO Sriram Venkatraman stepped down earlier, and Myntra chief executive Nandita Sinha left to run Swiggy’s Instamart. The exits come while Flipkart holds off on an IPO, with group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy saying in July that no timeline is set. Around 300 employees were cut in March on performance grounds. Minutes has meanwhile passed 1,000 micro-fulfilment centres on the way to a target of 1,500, and Flipkart plans a food delivery pilot on ONDC that would put it against Swiggy and Zomato.
