Delhivery elevates Vani Venkatesh to Deputy CEO role

Delhivery has elevated Vani Venkatesh to Deputy CEO, effective immediately. Venkatesh, who joined the company in February 2025 as Chief Business Officer and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP), will now lead revenue, marketing and customer experience functions and work closely with the company’s operations teams.

As Chief Business Officer, Venkatesh was responsible for Delhivery’s revenue functions. Her expanded role comes as the company continues to strengthen its executive leadership by elevating long-standing leaders.

Earlier this year, Varun Bakshi was elevated to Chief Sales Officer, Vikas Kapoor to Chief Strategy Officer, and Arun Bagavathi, Prashant Gazipur and Nikhil Ummat to Chief Operating Officers. Sunny Raja was also appointed Chief Procurement Officer.

Delhivery also announced that Ajith Pai, Chief Operating Officer and KMP, will leave the company at the close of business on September 15, 2026, to explore opportunities on his own. His responsibilities have been transitioned to the new executive operations leadership.

“Ajith is a founding member of Delhivery and has made invaluable contributions to the company since the very beginning, as CFO and then as COO. We wish him all the best for his new endeavours in the future,” said Sahil Barua, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Delhivery.

“Vani’s elevation reflects her increasing responsibilities and impact at Delhivery and is a part of our commitment to training executive leadership within the company to perform multiple new roles,” he added.
