Swiggy, one of India’s leading food delivery platforms, has announced significant changes to its board of directors following its recent public listing. On July 25, Sumer Juneja from SoftBank and Anand Daniel from Accel resigned from their positions as nominee directors on Swiggy’s board. In a strategic move to refresh its leadership, Swiggy appointed Faraz Khalid, CEO of Middle East commerce platform noon, as an independent director, subject to shareholder approval.
The resignations of Juneja and Daniel mark a shift in Swiggy’s governance approach as it transitions from a private to a publicly listed company. Both Juneja and Daniel represented major investors SoftBank and Accel, respectively. Their departure signals a new phase in the company’s growth journey.
In their place, Faraz Khalid brings a wealth of expertise in e-commerce, quick commerce, and food delivery sectors. Khalid co-founded Namshi and played a pivotal role in establishing noon as a top player across the Middle East and North Africa region. His appointment reflects Swiggy’s intention to bolster its board with leaders experienced in fast-growing tech commerce markets.
Khalid’s involvement is expected to provide strategic insights into international commerce trends, helping Swiggy innovate and expand its footprint in the competitive food delivery landscape.
Alongside these changes, Swiggy reappointed Shailesh Vishnubhai Haribhakti as a non-executive independent director for a second consecutive five-year term, effective January 24, 2026.
Haribhakti is a veteran chartered and cost accountant with over 50 years of industry experience. He currently leads Shailesh Haribhakti & Associates and serves as vice chairman of GovEVA Consulting. His continued presence on the board underlines Swiggy’s commitment to strong governance and financial oversight during its public company phase.
Swiggy’s board revamp highlights the company’s proactive approach to governance and strategic leadership as it charts its future post-IPO. With Faraz Khalid’s appointment and Haribhakti’s reappointment, Swiggy is well-positioned to drive innovation and maintain investor trust while scaling new heights in India’s booming food delivery sector.
