“During his initial years with the group, he was instrumental in revamping Mynta’s platform and improving customer experience/innovation. Subsequently, at Flipkart, he has driven several emerging technology and product-led innovations, significantly enhancing our platform’s resilience, scale and architecture, anchoring several strategic partnerships, and served on several internal and external boards representing Flipkart in critical and strategic forums. In addition, Jey has built a strong technology leadership team and has hired, mentored and groomed several senior technology leaders in the company,” Krishnamurthy added. 

Venugopal worked at Flipkart for six years and is currently the chairperson of the Nasscom Deeptech Council, according to his LinkedIn profile. Before Flipkart, he spent over a year at Myntra.

At Flipkart, Venugopal managed areas like product management, engineering, design, user research, data science, IT, security, infrastructure, product operations and key business functions like ads, loyalty and platform growth.

The CEO mentioned that he will work with Venugopal to ensure a smooth transition over the next three months.
At the same time, Flipkart’s vice president (VP) of the ads business, Sandeep Karwa, has also left the company, as he shared in a LinkedIn post.

“After 13 incredible years, today I say goodbye to a place that has been more than just a workplace—Flipkart has been my second home, my school, and my playground all wrapped into one,” Karwa said in the post.

Before joining Flipkart, Karwa was on the board of directors at Wildcraft India.

Four senior vice presidents left the e-commerce company in June last year.
