Flipkart’s supply chain head Hemant Badri to lead quick commerce business

Flipkart is set to launch its quick commerce offering in July, with Hemant Badri leading the initiative as the Senior Vice President and Head of Supply Chain. The company plans to establish a network of dark stores to support its quick commerce operations. Badri brings over three years of experience at Flipkart and previously worked at Unilever and Colgate Palmolive. This move by Flipkart comes as quick commerce companies like Blinkit and Zepto expand their product offerings beyond groceries. Talks of a potential deal between Flipkart and Zepto fell through, leading Zepto to seek a $500 million funding round. Swiggy, another Bengaluru-based company, recently integrated its Mall offering with its quick commerce division, Instamart. Swiggy is also preparing for an IPO later this year.
