Porter, a tech-based, on-demand logistics company has announced that the company will go restructure its key leadership. 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 & Technology Officer.

"Throughout our journey, we have achieved remarkable milestones, positioning Porter as one of India's leading logistics companies. We now embark on a new chapter of exponential growth and expansion and there could be no better time than now to make some strategic leadership role realignments. 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, said Executive Vice Chairman Pranav Goel.

Founded in 2014, Porter is one of India’s leading logistics companies, providing a spectrum of intra-city and inter-city services. Working towards the company’s inspirational dream of ‘moving a billion dreams ahead, one delivery at a time’, Porter has serviced over 1.3 crore customers across 19 cities in India, with a workforce of 2,600 employees. Founded by Pranav Goel, Uttam Digga & Vikas Choudhary, Porter has disrupted various domains of logistics by launching an on-demand marketplace for trucks, bikes, and Packers & Movers.

“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, Digga added. 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. Moreover, his invaluable contributions have continuously improved our engineering-product rigor and practices, consistently pushing us to strive for excellence.
