IIT graduates Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal founded out of a Bangalore apartment what would become India's biggest e-commerce startup. Readers will learn how Flipkart began as an online bookstore in October 2007 and grew known for its customer obsession, how global investors lined up to invest heavily in the company, and how business and interpersonal complexities eventually weakened the founders' control over their creation. The book also covers Flipkart's high-profile auction involving names like Jeff Bezos, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Masayoshi Son and Doug McMillon. This paperback gives readers a front-row seat to one of the most talked about business stories to come out of India.
