Flipkart appoints Vinay Vaidya as senior vice president of technology for supply chain

Flipkart on Thursday said it has appointed Vinay Vaidya as senior vice president of technology for its supply chain. He will lead technology and platforms across fulfilment services, seller experience, trust and safety, and marketplace, while also driving innovation in logistics and AI-powered capabilities, according to a statement issued by the ecommerce company.

Before this, he served as chief technology officer at Tata Digital, where he led technology strategy, platform modernisation and large-scale digital transformations.

Vaidya's appointment comes on the heels of several other senior appointments made this year. These include Goda Ramkumar as vice president of data science and AI solutions, Mohan Palisetti as vice president of fintech and payments engineering, Nitesh Jain as distinguished architect, Smita Ojha as vice president of core platform engineering, and Amit Sharma as vice president of programme management.


Vaidya is a product and technology leader with over two decades of experience building and scaling digital commerce businesses. He has also spent about 18 years at Amazon, where he helped build foundational capabilities across marketplace, seller ecosystem, payments, search and browse, and Amazon India.

"Vinay has led at that intersection across some of the most complex commerce environments, and he will play an important role in helping us strengthen the technology foundations that power Flipkart's next phase of growth," said Balaji Thiagarajan, chief product and technology officer at Flipkart.
