Anuj Rathi, Chief of Product at Jupiter Money, is set to join Flipkart’s travel platform, Cleartrip, marking his second stint at the ecommerce giant, sources told Yourstory.

Cleartrip, however, declined to comment on the development.

Rathi previously worked at Flipkart as a product manager, and before his role at Jupiter Money, he was the Senior Vice President of Revenue and Growth at Swiggy. Yourstory previously reported about Rathi’s intention to leave the fintech to pursue other opportunities six months after joining the company.

Rathi will succeed Cleartrip’s former CEO, Ayyappan Rajagopal, who announced his departure on LinkedIn on February 22. Rajagopal, appointed as CEO in October 2021, had a notable 11-year tenure at Flipkart and its fashion vertical, Myntra.

The appointment comes amid a broader reshuffle at the ecommerce giant ahead of its proposed IPO, with several top-level executives being hired and others being replaced. In a separate press release on Monday Flipkart announced the promotion of Sandeep Karwa, the newly appointed Vice President of Flipkart Ads, who has been with the company for 12 years.
