Flipkart reshuffles board ahead of IPO

The much-anticipated Flipkart IPO (initial public offering) could be out soon as the online retailer has announced major reshuffle in its board ahead of its plan to list its shares by next year. The reshuffle at the board of Flipkart will be effective from next year.

Flipkart group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy will be inducted as director to the company’s board, along with HDFC CEO Keki Mistry, Walmart’s global Chief Technology Officer and Chief Development Officer Suresh Kumar, and Walmart’s Executive Vice-President for international strategy and development, Leigh Hopkins.

The development came weeks after Walmart reportedly hired Goldman Sachs to assist with the listing of Flipkart in the US. The American retail player is mulling to divest around 25 per cent of its stake in Flipkart.

Flipkart was valued around $25 billion in July, when it raised $1.2 billion fund from Walmart. It was valued less than $21 billion in 2018, when Walmart had invested $16 billion to acquire a majority stake in the Bengaluru-based company.
