[Jobs Roundup] Looking to be a part of the Indian ecommerce success story? Here are some openings at Flipkart

One of the biggest success stories of homegrown Indian startups is Flipkart. Launched in 2007 as an online bookstore, Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal managed 20 successful shipments that year. Since then, the company has grown and gone on to provide more facilities like payments and logistics of its own.

Flipkart also topped the 2019 LinkedIn Top Companies list this year, being called ‘the most sought-after workplace in India’. Flipkart’s success in India caught the eye of US retail giant Walmart, which acquired the Indian ecommerce major in May 2018.

Now, if you are looking to be a part of the ecommerce major and become a ‘Flipster’, take a look at some of the job openings at Flipkart.
