Delhivery has promoted Vani Venkatesh to deputy chief executive officer, the logistics company announced. The move comes as chief operating officer Ajith Pai, a founding member, will leave the firm at close of business on September 15, 2026, to seek other opportunities. Venkatesh, who has been with Delhivery for over a decade, most recently served as chief business officer. The company said the transition is part of its long-term succession planning. Ajith Pai will continue in his role until his departure date to ensure a smooth handover. Delhivery did not name a replacement for Pai. The announcements were made in a regulatory filing on Monday.
