Today morning Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal tweeted out a selfie from inside what looked like a delivery van.
On the third day of Flipkart's Big Billion Day sale, Bansal has decided to do some of the deliveries in Bangalore personally. The whole idea according to a report in The Economic Times is to gain insights into the online customers psyche. According to Binny Bansal, co-founder of Flipkart, most of Flipkart's top employees will go out for deliveries over the next 15-20 days. Sachin Bansal also recalled his early days when he along with co-founder Binny would go out on a scooter for book deliveries around Bengaluru.
Binny Bansal told ET that they want to learn more about the market and understand the customer needs for the future and this gesture will also give them an opportunity to thank customers personally.
Along with Sachin and Binny Bansal, others who will take part in delivering goods include Mukesh Bansal, head of Flipkart's e-commerce business; Punit Soni, chief product officer; Ankit Nagori, chief business officer and KV Anand, senior vice president - customer experience.According to the company, around 3 million phones were sold on the first two days of the sale and traffic to Flipkart via the mobile app reached 70 million visits. Also Flipkart has boosted the sellers on its platform from 4,000 last year to around 50,000 this year.
