Flipkart elevates Ravi Rajani to director after six-year compliance run
Anti-corruption specialist steps up to strengthen governance framework
MUMBAI: Flipkart has promoted Ravi Rajani to director, marking a key milestone in his six-year tenure with the company as it continues to sharpen its governance and compliance focus.
Rajani, who joined Flipkart in 2020, has steadily risen through the ranks within the organisation’s anti-corruption compliance function. He most recently served as associate director, anti-corruption compliance, a role he held from September 2022 to April 2026. Prior to that, he was senior manager in the same vertical, playing a key role in strengthening internal controls and regulatory adherence.
In his new role as director, Rajani is expected to further bolster Flipkart’s governance framework, drawing on his experience in managing compliance risks and navigating evolving regulatory landscapes.
Before joining Flipkart, Rajani worked as a consultant at AZB & Partners, where he gained exposure to corporate law and regulatory advisory. He began his career at EY, progressing from article assistant to consultant over nearly four years, building a strong foundation in audit and compliance practices.
Academically, he is a chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and also holds a law degree from V. T. Choksi Sarvajanik Law College, equipping him with a dual lens on finance and legal frameworks.
Rajani’s elevation reflects Flipkart’s continued emphasis on strengthening internal governance as the ecommerce sector faces increasing regulatory scrutiny. As compliance moves from a backend function to a strategic priority, leadership roles such as his are becoming central to how companies build trust and scale responsibly.
