Suri had been a cofounder of Dunzo for six years and played a key role in the B2B delivery division, Dunzo Merchant Services (DMS), which has become the company’s main source of revenue.
Over the last year, the company in crisis has drastically scaled back its quick commerce businesses to save funds.
The CEO said Suri had been instrumental in building every new line of business at Dunzo. “He has been the key zero-to-one person from the founding team that just gets things done. We are doing some organization-wide restructuring from this quarter and the DMS business has very capable leadership that’s picking up directly from him,” said Biswas, said to ET.
