Swiggy Co-founder Phani Kishan and Group CFO Rahul Bothra to join the board

Swiggy has appointed Co-founder Phani Kishan and Group CFO Rahul Bothra as Executive Directors, effective June 01, 2026. 

Additionally, the Company is welcoming Renan De Castro Alves Pinto from Prosus Ventures as a Nominee Director. 

Co-founder Nandan Reddy will be stepping down from his board position and moving on from Swiggy to pursue personal independent projects. In his current role as Chief Growth Officer, Phani’s work spans business strategy, high-impact partnerships, cross-platform usage, and solving complex problems at scale contributing meaningfully to Swiggy’s evolution into an operating system for modern life. 

Rahul Bothra joined Swiggy as its first Chief Financial Officer. With over two decades of experience across domestic and international markets, Rahul has played a central role in shaping Swiggy’s financial and strategic trajectory leading its evolution from a VC backed food delivery startup into a multi-category, publicly listed platform. 

“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," said Sriharsha Majety, Group CEO, Swiggy. 

Reflecting on co-founder Nandan Reddy’s transition, Majety remarked, "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." 

Separately, the Board also welcomed Renan De Castro Alves Pinto as the Nominee Director representing Prosus Ventures, succeeding Roger Rabalais, who steps back following the transition from his role at Prosus Ventures. 

Anand Kripalu, Independent Director and the Chairperson of its Board of Directors, 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.”
