BANGALORE, June 16 - Indian online grocery retailer

Bigbasket on Tuesday appointed Amit Nanda as its CEO, replacing

co-founder Hari Menon, who will continue to serve on the board.

Here are some details:

* Nanda will join the Tata-backed grocery giant after more

than 11 years at Amazon India, where he held several leadership

roles.

* Bigbasket said Nanda will lead its next phase of growth,

including strengthening its position in quick commerce.

* Earlier this month, the company appointed insider Seshu

Kumar Tirumala as its Chief Operating Officer.

* The move comes as India's fast-growing quick-commerce

sector has become an $11.5 billion market within five years,

with players such as Swiggy's Instamart, Eternal's

Blinkit, Amazon's ( AMZN ) Now, Walmart ( WMT )-backed

Flipkart's Minutes, Reliance's JioMart and Zepto.

* Last year, Bigbasket said it planned to roll out its

10-minute food delivery services nationwide by the end of fiscal

2026.
