Cleartrip had been without a chief executive since the departure, and Ayyappan’s exit was followed by that of chief financial officer (CFO) Aditya Agarwal.

“Although new to the travel industry, I am eager to immerse myself in its intricacies and work closely with the talented team at Cleartrip. My goal is to assemble and inspire the best team to deliver outstanding results and continue Cleartrip's trajectory towards being one of the most loved brands in the country,” Rathi said in the LinkedIn post announcing the appointment.

Rathi is returning to Flipkart after 12 years. In between, he worked at its parent Walmart, Snapdeal, and Swiggy, where he spent over seven years and exited as SVP, revenue and growth. He had joined Jupiter in September last year.
