Snapdeal's VP engineering quits

BENGALURU: Senior level exits continue at the troubled Gurgaon-based online marketplace Snapdeal. Amitava Ghosh, VP engineering at the company, is learnt to be on his way out, multiple people aware of the development said.

Ghosh, a former tech lead at taxi aggregator TaxiForSure, joined Snapdeal in August 2015. He was based out of the etailer's Bengaluru office.

A company spokesperson did not comment on Ghosh's exit. When TOI contacted, Ghosh refused to confirm his departure. Having spent a decade at Yahoo, Ghosh was responsible for building platforms and user experiences for listings, media verticals, communities and social products at the internet giant.

He came on board Snapdeal when it had chalked out ambitious growth plans with the launch of its innovation centre in Bengaluru, which was at the time a 200 people strong, as per Snapdeal's website.
