Ecommerce major Flipkart on Friday asked about 300 employees to leave the company based on their annual performance reviews, a person familiar with the development told YourStory.
According to data available on Tracxn, Flipkart had over 15,000 employees as of August 2025, these latest exits would affect about 2% of the company's workforce.
"Flipkart conducts regular performance reviews aligned with clearly defined expectations. As part of this process, a small percentage of employees may transition from the organisation. We are supporting affected employees with transition support," the company told YourStory.
The development was first reported by The Economic Times. The report noted that the Kalyan Krishnamurthy-led company asked 400-500 employees to leave the company based on performance review. The move represented 3-4% of the company's employee base, higher than the usual 1-2% of the bottom performers that the company lets go every year.
Since the beginning of the year, Flipkart has undertaken a host of senior leadership appointments as it gears for enhanced scrutiny from public market investors. In January, it appointed Jason Chappel as VP, Group Controller, and Amer Hussain as VP, Supply Chain–Grocery & Flipkart Minutes. It also appointed Gunjan Bhartia as Senior Vice President to lead eKart Business Finance.
In February this year, it announced that Vipin Kapooria has rejoined Flipkart as VP, Business Finance, and Yogita Shanbhag has been appointed VP, Human Resources. Last week, it announced the appointment of Somnath Das as Vice President, Supply Chain, and Digbijay Mishra as VP, Corporate Communications.
These developments come as Walmart-backed Flipkart gears for its public debut. In December last year, the company had secured clearance from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to flip its domicile from Singapore to India. The combined entity after reverse flip will be called Flipkart Internet and will house the company's core businesses in India, including fashion marketplace Myntra and logistics arm Ekart.
