I was proud of Flipkart for being such a successful e-commerce company in India & from India, till it's got sold to Walmart; same story again, foreign companies own everything.

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

Yeah, Abinash, I would really love to see a couple of Indian startups to grow into global giants without selling out to a foreign company. However, I think, Flipkart's story would have been different, had the founders had more say in the company and were not ousted. -Varun

Before Flipkart Indians (myself included) believed that online shopping equals to a scam. I remember looking at some Chinese watches on rediff.com and used to ask my parents for those but they would always say no LOL. I had heard about amazon through Hollywood and wished that India too had a similar service and it appears god listened to me because now I have not only Flipkart but Amazon too and even Amazon USA is delivering to India now.

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

Yes, that is something that became clear to me while Varun and I were working on the script - people were genuinely scared to plug their credit card details in online. I tried to put myself into that headspace during the "They had made a mistake - nobody wanted to buy mobile phones online" part of the video. Hackers and bugs and glitches were something that people were genuinely concerned about. I think that at that time, the internet was still kind of new for a lot of people, and there was a lot of mystery and confusion about what was and wasn't safe. For example, I remember trying to stream movies online and downloading music from LimeWire and my parents telling me that if anything happened to the family computer, it was my fault because I had probably downloaded a virus. Anyways, I'm glad that those days are slowly moving into the past and people are feeling more secure and confident online! -Caleb

@@abhishekdev258 Wow, I can't even imagine! I grew up with internet at home, from AOL dial up when I was about 8 or 9 onwards. I don't think I have ever used an internet café, and my first phone was a Blackberry Bold 9900 in 2011 I think. Sometimes, having only lived in India for 3 years, I forget how quickly this country has developed, and how different it was less than a decade ago. For you and I guess a majority of Indians, access to fast, affordable internet really IS kind of a new thing. I'm sure your appreciation of it is significantly more than folks like me from countries where we've been enjoying internet since the beginning of the millennium.

If I experience amazing customer service and feel like I am valued and can trust and rely on the company, I will forgive almost anything, and will happily tell my friends and family about that company. We are trying to do the same thing here at BwM - we don't respond to every comment the way that we used to (there are just too many sometimes), but we are trying to stay in touch as best we can with our audience, taking feedback, engaging in the comments, and always trying to be trustworthy by correcting ourselves when we've made a mistake.

Couple of feedback: Would like to see more on how they strategically mitigated challenges especially in Indian context like digital marketing, family pressure, leaving job for startup, marriage etc. If you could have included Sachin or Binny's interview in their words would have created more impact. All in all its worth to watch!

My first order on Flipkart was a power bank. I gave it a try because of the COD option that others didn't have. That I feel, got a lot of people to order from Flipkart, as Debit/Credit cards were used comparatively less in those days.

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

That was a game changer for Flipkart, for sure. And in fact, I think that it actually helped to define the e-commerce market in India to a large extent. As I said in the video, books were inexpensive, and so purchasing them online with a credit card wasn't as big a deal for Indians as purchasing expensive tech like phones/power banks. Very interesting to meet someone down here in the comments who actually experienced Flipkart in that way! -Caleb

[@lezwoncastellino4232]

@@backstagewithmillionaires true. I actually tried to order a Harry potter book once from India plaza. Being in school I didn't have a card, neither did my parents own one. So unfortunately I couldn't complete the order. When Flipkart arrived on the scene, they changed the game with their COD option.

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

Wow, that's crazy - you've really seen the progression of Indian e-commerce then, all the way from India Plaza to today! I think I had a similar experience when I was younger, and in Canada COD has never really been a thing as far as I understand. I remember asking my parents to let me use their credit card to order, and them telling me no. Perhaps the younger generation here in India is one of the first to experience the freedom to order things without asking for their parents' permission.

Yes, I actually read your comments on other videos about the fact that Flipkart's parent company is registered in Singapore *after* we had written the script and I had recorded the entire video.

Let's just not forget that despite through this much struggles just to help India, they end up selling Flipkart to Walmart. I still cannot understand why they did that, they were winning against Amazon.

[@Achu12321]

why the co-founders took only a little stake in the company? and why did they leave from such profitable company? a sad climax !

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

Hey Achyuth, that is generally what happens when a startup is trying to grow in its early days, it needs a lot of money. And since both Sachin and Binny Bansal didn't have enough money, they had to borrow money from other VC investors by selling stake in Flipkart. And as they continued to grow and raise more money, they had to give more stake to the investors. Which is how they ended up with minority stakes. Once you are a minority stakeholder, you don't have enough decision making power. As for leaving the company, they didn't really leave Flipkart but were ousted from it. We didn't cover this part of the story in detail but you can learn more about it on the internet. -Varun
