Zepto VP Jitendra Bagga Steps Down

Jitendra Bagga has resigned as the Vice President of Central Operations at Zepto after a nine-month tenure, according to a report by Moneycontrol. Bagga, who oversaw the quick commerce unicorn's mother hubs (MH) and line haul (LH) projects within the warehousing division, departs at a pivotal time as Zepto continues its aggressive expansion strategy.

Zepto has significantly scaled up operations in 2024. Starting the year with around 300 dark stores, the company has now more than doubled that figure to over 750, as part of its efforts to outpace competitors like Swiggy Instamart, Blinkit, Flipkart Minutes, and Tata BigBasket.

Before joining Zepto in April 2024, Bagga brought extensive experience in supply chain management. He previously worked at Raymond for three years and spent over 24 years at Reliance Retail, contributing critical expertise to Zepto's operations and growth plans.

Bagga's exit follows another notable resignation at Zepto. Earlier in December, Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) Martin Dinesh Gomez stepped down after 11 months with the company. These departures coincide with Zepto's ongoing relocation of its headquarters and staff from Mumbai to Bengaluru.
