Delhivery appoints Neelam Dhawan as Chairperson
Tech veteran succeeds Deepak Kapoor effective 1 April 2026.
MUMBAI: Neelam Dhawan just took the driver’s seat at Delhivery because when logistics needs sharper direction, even the board calls in a Microsoft-level navigator.

She succeeds Deepak Kapoor, who steps down after more than eight years, as disclosed in the company’s regulatory filing on 31 January 2026.
Dhawan brings over three decades of leadership in technology, having served as managing director at HP India Sales, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise India and Microsoft India. A graduate in Economics from St. Stephen’s College and an MBA from FMS, Delhi University, she is recognised by Fortune, Forbes and Business Today as one of the ‘Most Powerful Women in Business’. She has shaped India’s IT sector, served on the NASSCOM Executive Council (2009–2017) and is a strong advocate for workplace diversity and STEM education for girls.
She currently serves as independent director on the boards of Hindustan Unilever, Tech Mahindra, Ather Energy, Fractal Analytics, Capillary Technologies India and Capita PLC, and as a director at Nudge Lifeskills Foundation.
Delhivery, MD & CEO Sahil Barua said, “We are delighted to welcome Neelam Dhawan to the Delhivery Board as our Chairperson. Her exceptional track record in leading some of the world’s most iconic technology companies, as well as her diverse set of experiences as a seasoned Board Member will be invaluable as Delhivery continues to scale its technology-led logistics platform.”
