Flipkart is one of India’s leading e-commerce companies, founded in 2007 by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal. Initially launched as an online bookstore, the company quickly expanded into various categories including electronics, fashion, home appliances, and groceries. With its user-friendly platform, wide product selection, and innovative services like Cash on Delivery, Flipkart played a major role in building trust in online shopping in India.

Today, Flipkart operates as a key competitor to Amazon in India and continues to grow through strategic innovations, digital payments (PhonePe), and affordable shopping solutions. The company also runs major annual sales such as the Big Billion Days, which attract huge numbers of shoppers. Flipkart’s journey reflects India’s e-commerce growth and its rise as a digital economy leader.
