[Jobs Roundup] Here's a chance to work with Walmart-backed Flipkart, India's ecommerce giant

India’s leading online marketplace Flipkart is one of the first success stories of the Indian startup ecosystem. In May 2018, Walmart announced it was buying 77 percent stake in the Indian ecommerce giant for $16 billion, taking Flipkart’s valuation to $21 billion. Following the deal, founders Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal exited the company. 

Earlier, in December 2019, Flipkart received its third round of fund infusion from Walmart. Flipkart said it would be using the funds to strengthen its B2B operations.

In 2019, Flipkart topped LinkedIn’s Top Companies list, which celebrates the most sought-after places to work in India. The ecommerce major had also topped the list in 2016 and 2017.

In this week’s Jobs Roundup, YourStory lists a few openings at India’s ecommerce giant:
