Resurfacing Walmart's May 2018 $16B Flipkart deal, a signal of India's retail FDI potential
Resurfacing from May 2018, Walmart's acquisition of Flipkart, valued at more than $20 billion, was seen at the time as a major vote of confidence in Indian e-commerce and a catalyst for investment in grocery, supply chains and food processing.
Walmart’s acquisition of Flipkart is positioned as a major endorsement of Indian e-commerce, likely intensifying competition and investment in grocery, supply chains and food processing while strengthening the case for liberalised retail FDI policies.
