Walmart India, a wholly-owned subsidiary of US-based Walmart Stores Inc, today said it has appointed Devendra Chawla as Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Operating Officer.

Commenting on the appointment, Walmart India President and CEO Krish Iyer said: "With this appointment, we are well positioned to better serve our customers while strengthening our overall business."
