"I look forward to collaborating with the board members and management team of Swiggy; aimed at value-creation and values-based governance," Mitra said in a statement.

Mitra was appointed to the company's board about two months after the resignation of Mallika Srinivasan, Chairman and Managing Director (MD) of TAFE.

With an electrical engineering degree from Jadavpur University and an MBA from IIM Calcutta, Mitra has held key roles, including Global Marketing Head at Titan.

She now joins the company’s distinguished list of independent directors that includes Anand Kripalu, MD & Global CEO at EPL Limited and Chairperson of the Swiggy board, Shailesh Haribhakti, Chairman of Shailesh Haribhakti & Associates, and Sahil Barua, MD & CEO at Delhivery.
