Kabeer Biswas, co-founder and former CEO of hyperlocal delivery startup Dunzo, has quit his role as vice president at Flipkart Minutes, just 10 months after joining the Walmart-owned e-commerce firm. According to a report by Entrackr, Biswas is now in talks to join Tata-owned BigBasket, where he is likely to lead its growing quick commerce vertical.
Biswas, who came on board at Flipkart on January 9, 2025, is being succeeded by Kunal Gupta, a long-time Flipkart executive and current vice president. The leadership shuffle comes as Flipkart pushes deeper into the 10–20-minute delivery segment to take on rivals like Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart.
A Flipkart spokesperson confirmed Biswas’s exit, saying he had played a key role in scaling Flipkart Minutes and enhancing customer experience. “Kunal Gupta, vice president and a Flipkart veteran, will now lead Flipkart Minutes to ensure a seamless continuation of business and operations,” the spokesperson added.
Biswas’s departure marks yet another move in the rapidly shifting quick commerce landscape. Earlier this year, he stepped down from Dunzo after the company faced a severe cash crunch, forcing it to shrink operations and cut most of its workforce.
If he joins BigBasket, Biswas will take charge at a crucial time for the Tata-owned platform, which is nearly done transitioning to a unified quick commerce model. Around 700 of its 800 dark stores are now enabled for rapid deliveries, signaling BigBasket’s full pivot to the fast-delivery game.
