Paytm Mall said it has hired more than half a dozen top executives to its leadership team ahead of the festive season as it prepares to fight giants Flipkart and Amazon.
The Alibaba-backed company has roped in executives from selfdrive car rental startup ZoomCar, social gifting platform Giftingnation, ad network Httpool, and ecommerce portals Abof and Hopscotch to head verticals across marketing, monetisation, seller ecosystem and merchandising, the company said in a statement.
This includes Srinivas Mothey from Giftingnation, Milind Pathak from Httpool, Nikhil Dhoka from BrownTape, Utkrisht Kumar from Hopscotch and Rohan Chhazed from ZoomCar, among others.
“We are strengthening our business team to expand our operations, build innovative solutions and offer more consumerfocused products & services,” said Amit Sinha, COO, Paytm Mall.
Paytm Mall has about 900 employees which it plans to ramp up to 1,200 by the end of the year.
