Flipkart names Jane Duke ethics chief ahead of potential IPO
MUMBAI: Flipkart has appointed Jane Duke as chief ethics and compliance officer, strengthening its leadership ranks as the Walmart-backed ecommerce group prepares for a potential public listing.
Duke will lead the group’s ethics and compliance function, overseeing governance, regulatory compliance and risk management across Flipkart’s businesses. She joins from Tyson Foods, where she served as vice-president and associate general counsel, and earlier as chief compliance officer.
She brings nearly 30 years of experience across public-sector enforcement and enterprise compliance. At Tyson Foods, Duke handled regulatory compliance, government investigations, litigation and enterprise risk management. Earlier, she spent more than a decade at the US attorney’s office for the eastern district of Arkansas, including a stint as US attorney between 2007 and 2011.
Flipkart Group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy said Duke’s appointment would be central to building sustainable, long-term value for stakeholders as the company scales.
The move follows a string of senior hires as Flipkart sharpens its corporate architecture ahead of a possible IPO. Recent appointments include Gunjan Bhartia as senior vice-president for business finance, former Meta executive Dan Neary to the board, Kushagra Dwivedi as director of Flipkart Ads and Balaji Thiagarajan as chief product and technology officer.
Flipkart Internet cut its losses by 37 per cent year on year to Rs 1,494 crore in FY25, while revenue rose by Rs 20,493 crore, underscoring improving operating leverage.
