Delhivery appoints Milind Sharma as head of Rapid Commerce and D2C brands. Gurugram-based logistics company Delhivery has appointed Milind Sharma, cofounder of the now-defunct grocery delivery service Peppertap, as the head of its rapid commerce and D2C brands verticals. Sharma was among the first few employees of Delhivery in 2012 and left the firm in 2013 to launch Peppertap. In his new role at Delhivery, Sharma will build out the rapid commerce service and oversee Delhivery’s entire product portfolio for the direct-to-consumer brand segment. He will also be scaling up Delhivery’s same-day and next-day offerings. Delhivery launched its rapid commerce service earlier this year with the aim of offering intracity deliveries for brands within a two-to-four hour timeline from its dark stores. “Rejoining Delhivery feels like a homecoming for me. This is where I started my startup journey, and I am eager to contribute to the next phase of growth by building the Rapid Commerce service and serving the D2C brand segment alongside the team,” said Milind Sharma on his appointment.

Meta India appoints Arun Srinivas as managing director Arun Srinivas has been appointed as the managing director and head for Meta in India. Srinivas was the director and head of the ads business for Meta India since 2022. In this role, Srinivas oversaw business strategy and revenue growth for India across all Meta platforms and for all businesses. He was part of the India leadership team and focused on strategic revenue priorities such as AI, Reels, and Messaging. This comes after Meta expanded the role of its India vice president, Sandhya Devanathan, who now also leads the tech giant's Southeast Asia business. The development was announced by Meta’s Asia Pacific head, Dan Neary. According to Meta India, Srinivas will transition to his new role from July 1, 2025, and will continue to report to Sandhya Devanathan. Srinivas was previously Ola’s chief operating officer and global chief marketing officer. He left the company in 2020, a year after he joined. A former vice president at Unilever, Srinivas had joined Ola after a stint at private equity firm WestBridge Capital, where he led its investments in the consumer vertical. His appointment comes at a time when Meta and Indian authorities have locked horns over allegations of the tech firm's anti-competitive practices in the country. In November, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) fined the company over antitrust violations and restricted the popular messaging platform WhatsApp from sharing user data with other Meta-owned applications for advertising purposes for a period of five years.
