 INTRODUCTION OF FLIPKART

History
In 2007, Flipkart was launched; Indian e-commerce business was taking its beginner steps. The
business is registered in Singapore, but their head office is in the city of Bangalore, India.
Sachin and Binny Bansal, who were working for Amazon, had an idea to start an e-commerce
company in India. Both of them are alumni of IIT, Delhi and are resident of Chandigarh, India.
They left their jobs in Amazon to start their own business. In a country where people have a
variety of tastes and preferences, an ecommerce start-up will always have massive challenges. In
India, people prefer to shop in person and buy goods they see and like. Today, thanks to Flipkart,
e-commerce has become one of the fastest growing sectors in India.
How it Started
Flipkart began selling books to begin with. It soon expanded and began offering a large variety
of goods. Innovating right from the start, Flipkart has been outstanding features for Indian e-
business. History In the first few years of its survival, Flipkart raised funds through venture
capital money. As the company grew in size, more funding arrived. Flipkart repaid the investors
faith with wonderful performances year after year. In the financial year 2008-09, Flipkart had
complete sales to the tune of 40 million Indian rupees. This soon increased to 200 million Indian
rupees the following year. Their last round of Fund raising had increased their value to $ 15
billion, however, as of February 2016, according to Morgan Stanley their estimated value stands
at $11 billion.
Evolution
Back at the moment when Flipkart was launched, any e-business company faced two main
difficulties. One was the problem of online payment access. Not many people chosen online
payment and the gateways were not easy to setup. Flipkart undertake this problem by introducing
cash on delivery and payment by card on delivery in addition to others. Flipkart was the first to
implement the well-liked Cash on Delivery facility, which every online shopping website in
India offers as an option today. The second problem was the entire supply chain system. Deliver
goods on time is one of the most vital factor that determines the success of an ecommerce
business Flipkart addressed this issue by introduction their own supply chain management
system to deliver orders in a timely fashion. Today as it stands, Sachin Bansal is the Chairman of
the company and Binny Bansal is the CEO of Flipkart.

Acquisitions
Flipkart also acquired few companies like Myntra.com, LetsBuy.com. etc., to better their
presence in the market. With the entry of Amazon.com in India, the competition between the
companies has seen many takeovers. Flipkarts journey from a small book e-retailer to Indias
largest e-commerce platform inspires a generation of start-ups. In a country where stereotype are
general, Flipkart managed to smash the norm and change the e-business industry in India for
ever. Flipkarts proves that if you really have a great idea, and you are a
Doer and not a thinker, success is not far off.
