Swiggy has elevated co-founder Phani Kishan Addepalli and Group CFO Rahul Bothra as Executive Directors on its board, effective 1 June 2026.
The company has also appointed Renan De Castro Alves Pinto from Prosus Ventures as a Nominee Director.
Meanwhile, co-founder Nandan Reddy will step down from the board to pursue independent ventures.
Currently serving as Chief Growth Officer, Phani Kishan has been instrumental in driving business strategy, forging high-impact partnerships, enhancing cross-platform usage, and addressing complex challenges at scale, contributing significantly to Swiggy’s evolution into a comprehensive consumer platform.
Rahul Bothra, Swiggy’s first Chief Financial Officer, brings over two decades of experience across domestic and global markets. He has played a key role in shaping the company’s financial and strategic direction, guiding its transition from a VC-backed food delivery startup to a multi-category, publicly listed platform.
Sriharsha Majety said, “Phani and Rahul have been with Swiggy since the early days and have been instrumental in steering the company through its most defining chapters. Their understanding of our business and unwavering focus on both innovation and execution, have been foundational to our journey. As we enter the next phase of our growth, their perspective will be invaluable in shaping our long-term direction.”
Speaking on Nandan Reddy’s transition, Majety said, “Nandan has been a vital collaborator and a visionary force throughout Swiggy’s evolution, from our beginnings in a single Bengaluru neighbourhood to becoming a nationwide platform serving millions. His steadfast commitment to our culture, innovation, and the consumer experience is woven into our DNA. While his daily presence will be missed, I look forward to the impact of his future endeavours.”
The board has also inducted Renan De Castro Alves Pinto as Nominee Director representing Prosus Ventures, replacing Roger Rabalais, who is stepping down following his transition from the firm.
Anand Kripalu, Independent Director and Chairperson of the Board, said, “We are delighted to welcome Swiggy co-founder Phani Kishan and Group CFO Rahul Bothra as Executive Directors to the Swiggy board. Both are long-time champions of the Company who deeply understand its culture, growth trajectory, and ambitions. Having them on the Board brings invaluable institutional knowledge and operational depth to our governance. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Nandan and Roger for their invaluable contributions to Swiggy’s journey. With the addition of Renan Pinto, the Board reconstitution underscores Swiggy’s readiness for the next decade of growth backed by experienced leadership, strong governance, and continued institutional support.”
