Blinkit ropes in Flipkart’s Vipin Kapooria as CFO

Quick commerce platform Blinkit has named Vipin Kapooria as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This marks the Zomato-owned company’s first full-time CFO appointment in over two years. Kapooria previously held the role of Vice President and Business Finance Head at Flipkart, where he contributed for more than four years. According to Kapooria's LinkedIn profile, he served as the Business Finance Head for the mobiles, electronics, and large appliances categories at the Walmart-owned company. Moneycontrol reported the development first. Entrackr has reached out to Zomato for more information. This development follows the recent resignation of Hemal Jain, who oversaw finance operations for both Zomato and Blinkit. In August 2022, Blinkit's CFO, Amit Sachdeva, resigned and later assumed the role of CFO at IGT Solutions in early 2023. Most recently, Sachdeva was appointed as the CFO of the edtech unicorn PhysicsWallah. This marks the fifth high-profile departure from Flipkart, with its executives moving to rival companies. Notably, Swiggy has recruited four former Flipkart leaders, including Kanika Tiwari, Hari Kumar G (CBO of Instamart), Shalabh Shrivastava (SVP Driver Org), and Amitesh Jha (CEO of Instamart). Similar to Blinkit and Instamart, Flipkart has also ventured into the quick commerce space with its service, Minutes, currently operating in select areas of Bengaluru, Gurugram, and Mumbai.
