Swiggy has announced that Sahil Barua, co-founder and CEO of logistics firm Delhivery, has stepped down from his position as an independent director on its board. The resignation took effect at the end of business hours on April 11, 2025, as stated in a regulatory filing.
Barua, who joined Swiggy’s board two years ago, cited increasing responsibilities at Delhivery as the primary reason behind his decision.
In his resignation letter, he mentioned that he is unable to dedicate the “time and attention” required for the role, although he confirmed that there were no other material reasons for his departure.
His exit comes at a time when Swiggy is preparing for its much-anticipated public listing. Barua recently led Delhivery through the strategic acquisition of Ecom Express, valued at ₹1,400 crore, further elevating his operational focus at the logistics giant.

Anand Kripalu, Chairperson of the Swiggy Board, acknowledged Barua’s contribution, saying,
“Sahil was one of the first independent members of Swiggy’s board, and has played a meaningful role in the company’s journey as we’ve scaled and transitioned into the public markets. We’re grateful for his support over the past two years, and wish him continued success.”
Expressing his gratitude, Barua shared
“I’d like to thank Swiggy for inviting me to serve as part of the Board. Swiggy is one of the great Indian internet companies, with outstanding founders and management. I look forward to cheering for Harsha and the Swiggy team as a user and well-wisher,”
Barua will continue to lead Delhivery, one of India’s largest logistics and supply chain players, and remains an influential figure in the startup ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Swiggy has been actively strengthening its core offerings.
The company recently introduced “MaxxSaver” on its Instamart platform, offering additional discounts for users with cart values above ₹999, without affecting its 10-minute delivery promise. Swiggy BLCK members will also enjoy added perks under this new feature.
