Medial

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.

Eternal’s Food Delivery COO Rinshul Chandra resigns Eternal Limited (Zomato) has announced the resignation of Rinshul Chandra, Chief Operating Officer of its Food Ordering and Delivery business. Chandra, a key member of the company’s senior management, tendered his resignation on April 5 and will officially step down on April 7. According to the company’s filing with stock exchanges, Chandra is stepping down to pursue new opportunities and passions aligned with his evolving personal and professional goals​. Chandra joined Zomato (now Eternal) in 2018 as Assistant Vice President of Product and steadily rose through the ranks, serving as Vice President, Head of Business, and eventually taking on the role of Chief Operating Officer for the food delivery segment. Eternal Limited has not yet announced a replacement for Chandra. The development comes shortly after mass layoffs at Zomato. According to media reports, the company let go of around 600 customer support associates within a year of hiring them. Over the past year, Zomato has seen several key departures. Hemal Jain, who served as Global Head of Finance and CFO of Hyperpure, stepped down. Akriti Chopra, the company’s co-founder and Chief People Officer, also left. In October last year, Gunjan Soni resigned from her position as an Independent Director. Zomato recently rebranded itself to Eternal, which will comprise four major businesses: Zomato, Blinkit, District, and Hyperpure.
