Jeyandran Venugopal is Flipkart’s tech chief

Mumbai: Flipkart has elevated Jeyandran Venugopal as its chief product and technology officer (CPTO), as part of a rejig in its senior management. The move is significant as the product and engineering teams in Flipkart will now report to Venugopal, marking a deviation from how the two teams were structured so far.

A technology veteran, Venugopal, was earlier a senior vice-president of engineering and product at the online retail firm and has had stints at Amazon Web Services and Yahoo, among others.

Till recently, he was Myntra-Jabong’s CPTO and moved to Flipkart in December last year.
