End of an era as Bansal, Accel, Tiger exit Flipkart?

Everyone associated with Flipkart seems to be making a fortune. Earlier, we reported that 19,000 employees were being paid $700 million in an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) buyback exercise. ?

Tell me more: Binny Bansal, the co-founder of Flipkart, no longer holds shares in the company and has become the latest one to capitalise on the company's growth.

  • Bansal sold his remaining 1-1.5% stake in Flipkart to Walmart.
  • He has earned a whopping $1-1.5 billion since inception, sources said.
  • Bansal, however, remains an investor in PhonePe, which is also owned by Walmart.


Walmart gains more control: Along with Bansal, Accel and Tiger Global have also fully divested their stakes, giving US-based retailer Walmart more control.

  • Accel sold the last of its 1.1% stake in Flipkart.
  • Accel invested $60-80 million to date and made about $1.5-2 billion in returns.

Similarly, Tiger Global, which entered the scene much later, invested about $1.2 billion in Flipkart and received returns of over $3.5 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal.
