Mumbai: Jane Duke will report to Chris Cyrenne, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer at Walmart International, and will work closely with Flipkart Group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy. The appointment underscores Flipkart’s focus on reinforcing ethical oversight and institutional readiness as it moves closer to listing.
Duke brings nearly three decades of experience spanning public-sector enforcement and corporate compliance. Most recently, she served at Tyson Foods as Vice President and Associate General Counsel, following her tenure as Chief Compliance Officer. Earlier, she spent over a decade with the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas, including a four-year term as US Attorney beginning in 2007.
Commenting on the appointment, Krishnamurthy said Duke’s deep expertise in ethics, compliance and governance across complex global organisations would significantly strengthen Flipkart’s commitment to transparency and ethical business practices. He added that her leadership would be central to building strong institutional foundations and supporting sustainable, long-term value creation as the company continues to scale.
The leadership announcement comes amid significant structural changes at Flipkart. In December 2025, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved the merger of eight Flipkart entities, bringing the company closer to securing an Indian domicile ahead of its IPO plans.
The tribunal sanctioned a Scheme of Amalgamation under which eight Singapore-incorporated transferor companies will merge into Flipkart Internet Private Limited, the Bengaluru-based operational arm. These entities include Flipkart Health Pvt Ltd, Flipkart Marketplace Pvt Ltd and Flipkart Private Ltd, among others.
The process will next require approval from the Singapore court before being taken up by the Registrar of Companies. According to sources, this step is also subject to clearance under Press Note 3, which mandates government approval for investments originating from countries sharing a land border with India.
