Porter, a tech-based, on-demand logistics company, has restructured its key leadership. Working towards the core purpose of 'Moving a billion dreams, one delivery at a time’, Uttam Digga, Co-founder of Porter, assumes the role of Chief Executive Officer, while Pranav Goel, transitions to the role of Executive Vice Chairman. Shruti Ranjan Satpathy gets additional responsibility and takes the role of Chief Product and Technology Officer.

Pranav Goel, Executive Vice Chairman said, “Over the years, Uttam's guidance as a COO played a crucial role in navigating us through challenging times and it was critical that he played a larger, stronger operational role. With my new position as Executive Vice Chairman for Porter, I will be supporting Uttam and the leadership team in driving financial metrics and shaping our strategy."

Uttam Digga, CEO, while thanking Pranav for his outstanding leadership over the last nine years, said, “Porter is commemorating its ninth-year anniversary, and I am thrilled about leading the company into its next phase of growth. Leveraging our tech-enabled logistics services, we will continue to provide efficient pricing and high service level standards, meeting the evolving needs of our valued customers.”

Digga added, “In his new role as CPTO, Shruti Ranjan will be taking charge of the Product, Data, and Design function, similar to how he currently leads the Technology function in his role as a CTO. Embracing a structure aligned with the evolving startup landscape, we believe this strategic move enhances alignment between functions and fosters a more user-centric approach to our business. Shruti Ranjan has proven himself as a driving force behind shaping our technology and product strategy, setting a compelling vision for the future.”
