As India’s quick commerce race gathers unprecedented momentum, Instamart has strengthened its leadership team by appointing Gautam Swaroop as its new Chief Business Officer. The move comes at a pivotal time for the company as it sharpens its focus on scaling operations, driving commercial excellence, and deepening its presence in one of the country’s fastest-evolving consumer markets.
In his new role, Swaroop will spearhead Instamart’s business strategy, commercial growth, and expansion initiatives, playing a key role in shaping the next phase of the company’s growth journey. His appointment underscores Instamart’s commitment to building a seasoned leadership team capable of navigating the rapidly changing dynamics of India’s quick commerce ecosystem.
Swaroop brings with him more than two decades of diverse leadership experience across some of the world’s most respected organisations. Most recently, he led OYO’s International Hotels & Homes business as Chief Executive Officer, where he was instrumental in driving global expansion and business transformation. Prior to OYO, he held senior leadership positions at Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories and began his professional journey at McKinsey & Company, building deep expertise across strategy, operations, and business growth.
With a proven track record of scaling businesses and leading transformative growth across industries, Gautam Swaroop’s appointment is expected to further strengthen Instamart’s ambitions as it continues to redefine convenience and accelerate its footprint in India’s highly competitive quick commerce landscape.
