Blinkit promotes Sumit Garg to associate director
GURUGRAM: Blinkit has elevated Sumit Garg to the role of associate director, marking a key step up for the operations leader within India’s rapidly evolving quick commerce landscape.
In his new position, Garg is set to help steer strategic initiatives and sharpen operational efficiency as Blinkit continues its expansion under the Zomato Group umbrella. The promotion reflects a steady rise through the company’s ranks, built on a mix of programme management, cross-functional coordination, and supply chain optimisation.
Garg joined Blinkit in 2021 and has since progressed through multiple leadership roles, from manager II to programme manager, then senior programme manager, before stepping into the associate director position in January 2026. His work has largely centred on streamlining fulfilment processes, improving capacity planning, and tightening the operational playbook for high-velocity grocery delivery.
Before Blinkit, he held roles at Flipkart, where he managed pan-India fulfilment centre operations for grocery e-commerce, and earlier at Ajio and Snapdeal, focusing on customer experience analytics, process design, and order lifecycle improvements. Across these roles, he built a reputation for reducing delivery bottlenecks, improving return processes, and driving data-led operational decisions.
With more than a decade of experience across some of India’s biggest e-commerce platforms, Garg’s promotion signals Blinkit’s continued focus on operational depth as the quick commerce race intensifies.

Info Edge reshuffles senior roles, Ambrish Singh to 99acres, Bhisham Dhingra to lead Shiksha strategy
Leadership changes at Shiksha and 99acres aim to drive sharper growth focus
MUMBAI: Info Edge (India) Limited has approved an internal reorganisation of its education and real estate verticals, setting the stage for leadership changes aimed at sharpening execution and accelerating growth. The move, cleared by the board on April 14 through a circular resolution, will come into effect from May 1, 2026.
The restructuring impacts the company’s Shiksha and 99acres businesses, two key pillars in its portfolio, and involves role changes for senior management personnel. As part of the reshuffle, Ambrish Kumar Singh, previously executive vice president and head of sales and customer delivery for Shiksha, has been redesignated as executive vice president and head of sales and sales enablement at 99acres. A long-time company leader since 2003, Singh is expected to focus on boosting business performance, strengthening client relationships and building high-performing teams in his new role.
Meanwhile, Bhisham Dhingra, who led sales and customer delivery at 99acres, will now take on an expanded mandate as head of sales, strategy and client delivery for Shiksha. With over two decades of experience across global and Indian organisations, Dhingra will spearhead growth strategy, corporate sales and client engagement for the domestic education vertical.
Both executives will continue as senior management personnel, albeit with revised responsibilities aligned to the company’s broader restructuring goals.
Info Edge said the changes are part of ongoing efforts to leverage leadership expertise across business lines and improve operational effectiveness. The company added that the reshuffle is designed to drive stronger outcomes by aligning talent with evolving business priorities.
As Info Edge continues to fine-tune its structure, the latest leadership moves suggest a clear intent to keep its core platforms nimble, competitive and ready for the next phase of growth.
