Founder Sachin Bansal shares some interesting statistics about Flipkart’s growth in India:
- Flipkart ships close to 30,000 items per day or about 20 per minute.
- The daily sales of Flipkart is Rs 2.5cr or around $ 0.5m.
- Around 60% of Flipkart’s orders are cash or card on delivery.
“Indian consumers are much more cautious about shopping online as compared to the West. They are reluctant to divulge credit card details. The cash on delivery service has helped a lot of traditional consumers turn to online shopping,” he told the Hindustan Times.
Some people I know don’t even have a credit card but they do frequently shop at Flipkart.
is flipkart a good site for shopping online ? are the products of good quality or not ?
Yes, they are quick to order, fast delivery and definitely good products, becoz you choose them.
That’s really impressive, proud of Flipkart as I’m an Indian too. Btw.. there’s a typo in 3rd point, should be cash* on delivery.
Agreed…! Great to see an Indian sensing such a good opportunity, we definitely need an Amazon for India..
I trust flipkart a lot. And of course, they make discounts on some topics also.
Rs.2.5 Crore / day is really a very big figure. However, the service of Flipkart truly deserves it!
