Moving on from social commerce, the US$5 billion startup is venturing deeper into the e-commerce giants’ territory. But how far can it go without losing its USP?
With a user base of over 350 million, PhonePe is eyeing growth in its investments business. Recent acquisitions and applications for regulatory licences are part of its strategy but its biggest challenge is likely to be the cross-selling hurdle which has humbled bigger rivals like Paytm in the past
Shopsy was Flipkart’s answer to social commerce unicorn Meesho’s entry into its territory. But in its attempt to draw in low-income, tier-2-and-beyond users, the Indian e-commerce giant is burning cash faster than it can say “monetisation”
Ahead of a $10 billion IPO, Flipkart’s changing how it does business. Its wholesale arm—which earned over Rs 31,000 crore in FY20—is planning to no longer sell to vendors on its platform. Instead, it will merely connect them to brands. Industry insiders, though, aren’t convinced much will change, while brands are uncomfortable with the new arrangement
Ever since Motorola and Xiaomi burst onto the online smartphone market with the exclusive deals and flash sales, Flipkart has ridden the e-commerce wave. Until 2020, when it ceded ground to Amazon. Profitability is in the doldrums and an IPO is approaching; Flipkart’s crown jewel is in danger of dulling

Aided by the pandemic, 2021 will see supermarket chains and e-grocers wading further into each other’s territory
The pandemic and the US visa restrictions have now made foreign companies more dependent on development centres, owned and operated by these companies. The race for talent is now on. Could this be India’s fourth offshoring wave?
The one sector where companies have grown super fast, hit speed breakers, pivoted, and basically lived their entire lifetimes in the past decade has been e-commerce. From books to clothes to furniture to smartphones to even grocery, e-commerce has seen it all in the 2010s
American retailer Walmart wants its largest acquisition—Flipkart—recast in its own mould. From grocery arm Supermart to logistics business Ekart, Walmart is leaving no stone unturned
Not too long ago, Myntra was the fashionable jewel in Flipkart's crown. Today, the fashion e-tailer's growth is slowing, it's seen major changes in management, its Chinese wall with Flipkart is crumbling, and Flipkart Fashion has shot ahead of it. With fashion e-retail increasingly going tier-2 and Walmart shifting goalposts for Myntra, it's in a bit of a flux
From $2 billion in 2018, Flipkart-owned PhonePe is worth ~$10 billion today. As it has grown, its reliance on Flipkart has shrunk. Once, 50% of its monthly transactions came through Flipkart. Today, this is less than 0.5%. But as PhonePe looks to fly the nest, it must figure out its business model
From grocery space laggard, Flipkart is aiming to not just draw level with its rivals, but overtake them. Along the way, it could finally realise Walmart’s vision for it

Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal is lining up a second tryst with destiny. Will his entry shake up late-stage funding in India?
In the last six months, Paytm Mall has been called many things. E-commerce. Digital commerce. Offline-to-online commerce. Go big or go home kind of commerce. What it hasn’t been called is hope. Yes. Hope. A singular emotion that, after wallets, Paytm, the company founded by Vijay Shekhar Sharma, will be able to amount to something useful
