The Flipkart Group — which houses ecommerce giant Flipkart, Myntra, and fintech platform PhonePe — was started in 2007. Over the years, Flipkart redefined the shopping experience for Indians, enabling the country to secure a permanent position in the global tech map.
One of the first success stories of the Indian startup ecosystem, Flipkart was acquired by Walmart in 2018. The latter bought out 77 percent stake in the Indian ecommerce giant for $16 billion.
Sachin and Binny Bansal co-founded Flipkart to revolutionise the shopping experience in India, and the company continues to focus on the same. Recently, it announced its acquisition of 2018 Tech30 AR startup Scapic to enhance its shopping experience capabilities.
In this week's Jobs Roundup, YourStory has curated a list of job openings at Walmart-acquired Flipkart.
