Online grocer BigBasket is all set to appoint Deepika Khattar Bhan, president - packaged foods, Tata Consumer Products, to its board. Bhan will be replacing Aarthi Subramanian, executive director and chief operating officer, Tata Consultancy Services, who is stepping down in order to take up more responsibilities at the multinational IT and consulting company, stated a Moneycontrol report.

BigBasket's board members include Saurabh Agrawal, group CFO and executive director, Tata Sons; Vishal Gupta, partner, Bessemer Venture Partners; and Vipul Parekh, co-founder, BigBasket.
