Who We Are:  Flipkart was given wings in the year 2007 by two IIT alumni, Sachin and Binny Bansal. In what has been a stupendous six year journey so far, today we stand tall as India’s largest ecommerce marketplace, with the highest sales of consumer electronic products and books, surpassing large offline chains in these categories.
