Blinkit promotes Sumit Garg to associate director
GURUGRAM: Blinkit has elevated Sumit Garg to the role of associate director, marking a key step up for the operations leader within India’s rapidly evolving quick commerce landscape.
In his new position, Garg is set to help steer strategic initiatives and sharpen operational efficiency as Blinkit continues its expansion under the Zomato Group umbrella. The promotion reflects a steady rise through the company’s ranks, built on a mix of programme management, cross-functional coordination, and supply chain optimisation.
Garg joined Blinkit in 2021 and has since progressed through multiple leadership roles, from manager II to programme manager, then senior programme manager, before stepping into the associate director position in January 2026. His work has largely centred on streamlining fulfilment processes, improving capacity planning, and tightening the operational playbook for high-velocity grocery delivery.
Before Blinkit, he held roles at Flipkart, where he managed pan-India fulfilment centre operations for grocery e-commerce, and earlier at Ajio and Snapdeal, focusing on customer experience analytics, process design, and order lifecycle improvements. Across these roles, he built a reputation for reducing delivery bottlenecks, improving return processes, and driving data-led operational decisions.
With more than a decade of experience across some of India’s biggest e-commerce platforms, Garg’s promotion signals Blinkit’s continued focus on operational depth as the quick commerce race intensifies.
