This appointment will be effective immediately. In his new role, Venkataraman will be responsible for key finance operations and functions at Flipkart and Myntra, including Tax, Risk Management, and Treasury.

He will also be responsible for Corporate Development at Flipkart, while Procurement, Planning and Analytics and Decision Sciences will continue to report to him, the company said.

“Sriram has consistently demonstrated his expertise managing several diverse functions at Flipkart and is well poised to take on the responsibilities as Flipkart Commerce CFO.
