Binny Bansal and Sachin Bansal partnered in 2007 and founded Flipkart, though they have the same last name but are not related. They merged their funds, pooled $6,000, and began working out of their apartment. The duo were together in the same college.
Binny was rejected twice by Google before co-founding Flipkart, and he worked for Amazon for nine months before that. When Binny Bansal and his business partner Sachin Bansal first considered launching a comparative search engine, they quickly recognised that there was relatively little market for online shopping in India. As a result, they started an online retailer called Flipkart after quitting Amazon in 2007.
Walmart purchased a 77% share in the Flipkart group in 2018. Binny Bansal retained his position as group CEO and was appointed chairman following the transaction.
