 Hi Guyz! This is SOUMYA!! Today I'm here to tell you ''THE MOST INSTERESTING FACTS ABOUT 'INDIA' Might you don't know about... So WHY Wait? Let's get it STATR!

1.This Is Not An Accident!

The start of Flipkart as a small online bookstore wasn’t an accident It was a well-planned move by Sachin and Binny Bansal, who are both alumni of prestigious IIT Delhi, and then were co-workers at Amazon, which later turned out to be their biggest competitor. The year was 2007, and the place was Bengaluru.


2.The First Order!

After they launched Flipkart.com, an online bookstore, the very first book they sold was ‘Leaving Microsoft to Change the World’ by John Wood. As per some sources, Sachin Bansal did the packing and Binny Bansal was the delivery boy. In an interview, Sachin Bansal told that in the initial days, they used to write fake reviews of books on their site to inspire buyers to make the purchase. It worked!


3. The Big Twist!

Flipkart’s Big Billion Day salE was the big twist which propelled them into the big league, as they edged past Amazon’s market share. Big Billion Day started in 2015, in the three days of the sale, they sold products worth $200 million Next year, in 2016, Big Billion Day was even bigger, as they managed to sell products worth $225 million in three days. During this sales day period, Flipkart sold more shoes and TVs online than the combined sale of all retailers in India!


4.Mobile, Mobile, Mobile!

In the last few years, Flipkart had been relentlessly focussing on mobile. In 2016, they decided to completely stop their website, and sell only via their mobile app. After dissatisfaction and uproar from their loyal users, they decided to bring back their mobile siet. Their focus on mobile is clearly evident from the fact that Flipkart’s mobile app was the first Indian to cross 50 million downloads.


5.Founders Aren’t Alike!

Science says that opposites attract, and this fact holds true for Flipkart’s founders Sachin and Binny Bansal. Sachin is a passionate game freak, and back in the old days, if an employee was able to beat Sachin, he/she was treated to a dinner. Flipkart still holds gaming tournaments for employees. Meanwhile, Binny Bansal loves outdoor and travel. His water-rafting adventures are quite famous.
