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.
Chawla had last month resigned from Future Consumer, a part of Kishore Biyani-led Future Group, where he was the CEO.
In his new role at the retail giant, he will lead Merchandising, Marketing, and Omni Channel functions for Walmart India's Cash and Carry business, the company said in a statement.
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."
Chawla, who brings with him 22 years of experience in retail, FMCG, merchandising, Operations and brand management, will report to Iyer.
