Sriharsha Majety, CEO of the Swiggy Group, expressed his enthusiasm about Jha joining the team. In his statement, Majety said, "I am delighted to welcome Amitesh Jha as the new CEO of Swiggy Instamart. Amitesh brings with him a wealth of experience from his 14-year tenure at Flipkart, where he made a significant impact by leading core categories such as smartphones, general merchandise, fashion, and large appliances. He also played a key role in managing Flipkart's logistics arm."

Jha, in his own statement, shared his excitement about this new role. He mentioned that he is "deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this pathbreaking journey and be part of such a storied organization."

Amitesh Jha is a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in the e-commerce sector. He spent the last 14 years at Flipkart, where he held various leadership positions. His work at Flipkart not only helped the company grow but also played a role in making e-commerce a mainstream industry in India. Jha's expertise in leading diverse product categories and overseeing logistics will undoubtedly be valuable in his new role at Swiggy Instamart.

Jha's educational background is also impressive. He is a chemical engineering graduate from IIT Delhi and holds an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, two of India's most prestigious institutions.
