Flipkart has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of Gunjan Bhartia as Senior Vice President, Business Finance, as the company sharpens its focus on scaling and optimising its supply chain operations.
In his new role, Bhartia will oversee business finance for eKart across all verticals. His mandate includes driving financial planning, strengthening performance management frameworks and supporting key strategic initiatives as Flipkart continues to expand its logistics and fulfilment capabilities. The appointment comes at a time when the Walmart-owned ecommerce major is investing heavily in supply chain efficiency to support growth across categories and improve delivery speed and reliability.
Bhartia brings with him more than 28 years of experience in finance leadership roles across Asia and the Middle East. Over the course of his career, he has worked across complex, large-scale organisations and has been closely involved in transformation initiatives, governance structures and execution of multi-billion-dollar programmes.
Prior to joining Flipkart, Bhartia held senior positions at global conglomerate GE, where he worked across multiple geographies and business units. He later joined South Korea-based ecommerce company Coupang, one of Asia’s largest digital commerce platforms, where he was part of the leadership team navigating rapid growth in a listed-company environment. His experience spans strategic finance, operational controls and scaling businesses in high-growth markets.
At Flipkart, Bhartia will report into the company’s finance leadership and work closely with the eKart management team. His role will focus on enabling long-term value creation by aligning financial discipline with operational priorities, particularly as the company builds out its logistics infrastructure to handle higher volumes and more complex supply chain demands.
Flipkart’s supply chain arm eKart plays a critical role in the group’s broader ecommerce operations, handling warehousing, last-mile delivery and reverse logistics across the country. With this appointment, the company aims to reinforce financial oversight and decision-making as it continues to expand its footprint and compete in India’s fast-evolving ecommerce landscape.
