Flipkart CPTO Jeyandran Venugopal Resigns

Flipkart’s chief product and technology officer (CPTO) Jeyandran Venugopal has resigned from the ecommerce giant due to personal reasons.

In an internal note, Flipkart CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy wrote, “I am writing to inform you that Jeyandran Venugopal, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Flipkart, has decided to leave Flipkart for personal reasons.” 

The development was first reported by Economic Times.

Venugopal was with Flipkart for the last six years and is currently a chairperson of Nasscom Deeptech Council, as per his Linkedin profile. Before Flipkart, he also worked at Myntra for over a year. 

Venugopal oversaw various domains like product management, engineering, design and user research, data science, IT, security, infrastructure, product operations, critical P&L functions (ads, loyalty), platform growth, among others, at Flipkart. 

“During his initial years with the group, he was instrumental in revamping Mynta’s platform and improving customer experience/innovation. Subsequently, at Flipkart, he has driven several emerging technology and product-led innovations, significantly enhancing our platform’s resilience, scale and architecture, anchoring several strategic partnerships, and served on several internal and external boards representing Flipkart in critical and strategic forums. In addition, Jey has built a strong technology leadership team and has hired, mentored and groomed several senior technology leaders in the company,” Krishnamurthy added. 

The CEO added that he would work with Venugopal to ensure a smooth transition over the next three months. 

The development comes after four senior vice presidents (SVPs) left Flipkart in June last year.
