Client Overview

Flipkart is one of India’s largest e-commerce marketplaces, hosting millions of SKUs across categories such as electronics, fashion, home, and FMCG. With thousands of sellers competing on the same SKUs, pricing dynamics change frequently, impacting buy-box visibility, conversions, and seller performance.

To maintain pricing accuracy and gain visibility into seller behavior at scale, Flipkart required a robust marketplace price and seller intelligence solution.
