During his tenure, he played a key role in expanding Instamart&#8217;s operations, improving contribution margins and launching initiatives aimed at differentiating the platform in the highly competitive quick commerce sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swiggy stated that Jha resigned to pursue opportunities outside the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nandita Sinha Brings Two Decades Of Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking over the role is <strong>Nandita Sinha<\/strong>, one of India&#8217;s most experienced consumer internet executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before joining Swiggy, she served as the <strong>CEO of Myntra<\/strong>, helping the fashion e-commerce platform strengthen its market position and achieve sustained growth.
