Nitin Seth files suit against Flipkart, says his ouster was illegal

He was appointed as the firm's chief operating officer (COO) in January

Nitin Seth, the former chief operating officer (COO) at India’s largest e-commerce marketplace Flipkart has served the company a legal notice over his ouster in May, claiming the way he was removed was illegal, according to a Times of India report.

Seth, who joined Flipkart as its chief people officer in March 2016, was one of the first senior executives to be hired under the leadership of Binny Bansal. He quickly moved up the ranks at the company, ending up as COO soon after Tiger Global’s Kalyan Krishnamurthy took over as the chief executive officer (CEO) of Flipkart
