Walmart-owned Flipkart has appointed Jane Duke as its Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer (CECO), reinforcing its governance framework as the e-commerce major advances preparations for its much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO).
As per reports, in her new role, Jane will report to Chris Cyrenne, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer at Walmart International, and collaborate closely with Flipkart Group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy. Her appointment underscores Flipkart’s focus on building robust institutional processes amid its next phase of growth.
Jane brings nearly 30 years of experience spanning public-sector enforcement and corporate compliance. Most recently, she served at Tyson Foods as Vice President and Associate General Counsel, after having held the position of Chief Compliance Officer. Earlier, she spent over a decade with the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas, including a four-year tenure as US Attorney beginning in 2007.
Commenting on the appointment, Krishnamurthy said Jane’s deep expertise in ethics, governance, and compliance across global organisations would play a key role in strengthening Flipkart’s culture of transparency and integrity. He added that as the company scales, strong governance and ethical leadership remain central to long-term value creation for stakeholders.
The development comes close on the heels of a significant corporate restructuring milestone. In December 2025, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved the merger of eight Flipkart entities, bringing the company a step closer to establishing an Indian domicile.
The approved scheme involves eight Singapore-incorporated entities—including Flipkart Health Pvt Ltd, Flipkart Marketplace Pvt Ltd and Flipkart Pvt Ltd—being amalgamated into Flipkart Internet Private Limited, the group’s Bengaluru-based operating entity.
