  3. Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Flipkart is making a six-fold increase in AI investments this year, focusing on automation, customer experience, and operational efficiency.

IPO Preparations and Financial Strategy

Flipkart’s hiring spree comes amid strict financial discipline as the company prepares for a public listing.

The board has instructed CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy to cut the company’s monthly cash burn from $40 million (₹340 crore) to $20 million (₹170 crore).

Additionally, Flipkart has set an annual burn target of $250 million, aiming for stricter financial discipline.

Despite financial constraints, Flipkart is aiming for 30% growth in customer and order volumes by June 2025.

This growth will be fueled by expansion in fashion, hyperlocal delivery, and fintech services, strengthening its market presence.
