Dushyant Kanal — CEO
I deliver large-scale impact through strategic planning and swift execution. At Blinkit, I developed new hiring channels — combining digital marketing, targeted referrals, resurrections, and internal migration — supported by outbound calling, AI chatbots, and automated outreach systems (in-app notifications, WhatsApp, IVR). All of this runs through our ‘Blinkit Picker Onboarding’ app, which now fulfills 50% of our nationwide blue-collar hiring needs. I’ve also built a national gamified metric system to boost store performance and designed a full stack L&D platform for on-ground teams. Previously at ITC Hotels, I’ve managed large teams, improved guest satisfaction to record levels, and consistently exceeded revenue targets while delivering, within pre-defined cost constraints. I’m passionate about solving complex operational challenges, building scalable systems, and empowering frontline teams to excel. My work is grounded in strong leadership, clear stakeholder communication, and a track record of translating strategy into measurable results. I value a culture where people feel respected, leaders are supportive , integrity is non-negotiable, and everyone has opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute their best work.
