About the Flipkart

Flipkart Private Limited is an Indian e-commerce company based in Bangalore and registered in Singapore as a private limited entity. Initially focused on online book sales, Flipkart has since diversified its offerings to include consumer electronics, fashion, home essentials, groceries, and lifestyle products.The company primarily competes with Amazon India and Snapdeal.

As of FY23, Flipkart commands a 48% market share in the Indian e-commerce sector, holding a leading position in the apparel market, particularly after acquiring Myntra. It is noted for being closely competitive with Amazon in electronics and mobile phone sales.Founded in October 2007 by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, both alumni of IIT Delhi and former Amazon employees, Flipkart began its journey in a two-bedroom apartment in Koramangala, Bengaluru.

The initial funding of INR 2 lakh came from their families.Flipkart’s website launched in October 2007, initially limited to book sales with nationwide shipping. By 2008, the company had grown to receive around 100 orders per day. In 2010, Flipkart acquired WeRead from Lulu.com, which strengthened its position in the digital book retail space, a market dominated by a few players like Landmark and Infibeam.

To gain market leadership, Flipkart employed aggressive discounting strategies and prioritized exceptional customer service. WeRead provided a vast network of readers and user-generated content, including book reviews and ratings, maintaining its brand identity post-acquisition.

The acquisition of Myntra in 2014 for approximately ₹2,000 crore (around $240 million) significantly bolstered Flipkart’s presence in the fashion segment. Myntra continues to operate as a separate entity under Flipkart’s umbrella, focusing on fashion e-commerce while leveraging Flipkart’s extensive logistics and operational capabilities. This strategic move was aimed at enhancing Flipkart’s competitive edge against rivals like Amazon and Snapdeal in the rapidly growing online fashion market.
