Martin Dinesh Gomez, the Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) at quick commerce startup Zepto, has decided to step down and is currently serving his notice period, as per Money Control. Gomez, who joined Zepto less than a year ago after an 11-year tenure at Amazon, will officially exit the company in a few weeks.
In the interim, Zepto’s co-founder and CEO, Aadit Palicha, has taken over HR operations, managing hiring and other related functions, as reported by Money Control. Additionally, Chandan Mendiratta, Zepto’s Chief Brand Officer since January, has been appointed as the Chief Culture Officer and will oversee other HR functions.
Gomez’s departure adds to a series of high-profile exits at Zepto in recent months. In June, Manik Oberoi, the former VP of Growth and Retention, and Viral Jhaveri, the ex-Chief Business Officer and Chief Growth Officer, left the company. Around the same time, Ashish Shah, former Senior VP of Finance, also exited the firm.
