Gurugram (Haryana), 4th April 2023: Dale Vaz, the chief technology officer of Swiggy, has left the organisation after nearly five years. Vaz had left Amazon after eleven years and joined Swiggy. Madhusudhan Rao, who has worked for the business for more than four years, will be appointed as the new CTO.
Currently, Rao serves as Swiggy’s Senior Vice President of ConsumerTech and FinTech (Engg and Product).
A Swiggy representative told the media company Moneycontrol that Vaz is leaving the business and that he is considering starting his own. He will stay with the business through next month.
The Swiggy spokesperson said, “We confirm Dale Vaz has decided to move on from Swiggy to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities. He will continue in his role till May 2023 & will be associated with Swiggy for an extended period in an advisory role. We thank him earnestly for his many contributions to Swiggy.”
The spokesperson further informed, “Madhusudan Rao will take over as CTO. Madhu has been with Swiggy for over 4 years and has decades of tech leadership experience with a proven track record of understanding what our customers need.”
This occurs only a few days after Swiggy’s Instamart head Karthik Gurumurthy declared he would be taking a break and handing over responsibility to Phani Kishan Addepalli. In addition to leading the organisation’s InsanelyGood division, Addepalli was promoted to co-founder of Swiggy in July 2021.
