FLIPKART – The amazing success story of an Indian start-up.
Flipkart is India’s answer to the big e-commerce portals of the world. Started by two IITans Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, colleagues at Amazon, in 2007 with an initial investment of Rs. 4 Lakh. They started by selling books online and with their popularity increasing they started adding products and soon they categorised their products which enabled the customer to easily pick and choose the desired product.
Their concept of CASH ON DELIVERY along with 30 days RETURN and REFUND was a master stroke which dispelled the fear of online payment and the fear of a product not up to the mark not being returned. It propelled Flipkart to new heights and it soon became a house hold name in India.
Starting with a meagre Rs. 4 Lakh Flipkart growth is phenomenal. Flipkart sales were Rs. 40 million in 2008-09, Rs. 200 million in 2009-10 and Rs. 750 million in 2010-11. It is valued at a whopping Rs. 1.47 lakh crore (USD 20.8 billion) in 2018.
