Flipkart Group has announced two senior leadership appointments as it sharpens its focus on financial governance and supply chain execution amid rapid expansion across grocery and quick commerce. The company has brought in Jason Chappel as Vice President, Group Controller, and Amer Hussain as Vice President, Supply Chain for Grocery and Minutes, reinforcing its core operating leadership.
Jason Chappel will be responsible for overseeing accounting, financial reporting and internal controls across the Flipkart Group. His mandate includes strengthening governance frameworks and ensuring consistency in controllership practices as the company scales across multiple business verticals. Chappel joins from Walmart, Flipkart’s parent, where he most recently served as Group Director at Walmart Enterprise Business Services. In that role, he managed finance operations across international markets and led complex transitions tied to omnichannel and cross-border business models. Over the years, he has held senior finance leadership roles across Walmart’s operations in China, Japan and Canada, giving him deep experience in managing large, diversified retail organisations.
Amer Hussain will lead supply chain strategy for Flipkart’s fast-growing Grocery and Minutes businesses, which are central to the company’s push into essentials and quick delivery. His role will focus on scaling infrastructure, improving service levels and driving efficiency across warehousing, distribution and last-mile operations. Hussain brings over 25 years of experience across consumer and retail organisations including The Coca-Cola Company, Jubilant FoodWorks and Reliance Consumer. His background spans supply chain transformation, digital operations and managing large-scale networks in high-volume categories.
Both executives will be based in Bengaluru and will work closely with Flipkart’s existing leadership team as the company deepens its investments in institutional capabilities. The appointments come at a time when Flipkart is expanding its operational footprint, particularly in grocery and quick commerce, segments that demand high reliability, speed and cost discipline.
With these hires, Flipkart is signalling a clear intent to strengthen its internal foundations as competition intensifies and consumer expectations around delivery speed, availability and trust continue to rise across India’s e-commerce landscape.
