Flipkart Strengthens Leadership Team Ahead of IPO

In a strategic move to fortify its leadership team ahead of its impending IPO, Flipkart, the e-commerce heavyweight, has announced key appointments. Somnath Das has been appointed as Vice President of Supply Chain, bringing over two decades of experience to oversee operations for the company's extensive appliance and furniture segment.

Joining Das is Digbijay Mishra as Vice President of Corporate Communications, transitioning from his previous role as Deputy Bureau Chief at The Economic Times.
