Instamart has onboarded Ankit Jain as its new Senior Vice President – Operations, marking a strategic move to strengthen its supply chain and operational capabilities. In his new role, Ankit will be responsible for overseeing Instamart’s complete operations ecosystem, including supply chain, dark store management, delivery experience, and network expansion.
The appointment comes at a time of rapid scale for the quick commerce platform. Sharing his thoughts on the development, Amitesh Jha, CEO of Instamart, stated, “Operations at Instamart have seen strong momentum over the past few months — enabling our presence in 120+ cities, expanding into new categories, and scaling our infrastructure with the record addition of 300+ dark stores and mega pods last quarter. Ankit’s deep, hands-on experience across e-commerce, retail, and FMCG will be a strong force in further strengthening our operations, leading the way in delivery speed, availability, and assortment for our consumers.”
Ankit Jain brings with him more than two decades of expertise in logistics and supply chain, having held key leadership roles across the retail and FMCG sectors. Before joining Instamart, he was the Senior Vice President at Flipkart, where he led the grocery and large supply chain divisions and headed Ekart Design. His earlier stint at Unilever saw him manage logistics, warehousing, and demand planning across multiple geographies.
On joining Instamart, Ankit Jain said, “I’ve long admired Instamart’s operational excellence — from pioneering the quick commerce model to building a robust network of dark stores and setting the benchmark for delivery speed. I’m particularly excited by the scale and complexity of the business and the opportunity to work on some cutting-edge solutions to improve its operations, especially as Instamart adds new cities and diversifies its category mix — all while staying true to the 10-minute delivery promise.”
Instamart’s move to bring in experienced leadership like Ankit reflects its commitment to operational innovation as it pushes into more cities and product categories.
