Flipkart executives meet ministers to discuss MSME push, India listing
The executives shared updates on Flipkart's initiatives to onboard MSMEs, artisans, and small businesses across platforms, including the Flipkart marketplace, fashion arm Myntra, and travel subsidiary Cleartrip. The discussion also covered financial inclusion programs being developed through Flipkart's fintech platform, super.money.
As part of a broader alignment with India's evolving digital economy, Flipkart reaffirmed its intent to redomicile to India—a move widely seen as a precursor to a potential public listing, according to sources.
'We also reaffirmed our 'India First' commitment as we strengthen supply chain infrastructure, digital infrastructure, and help create a skilling ecosystem to train people, sellers, and underserved communities while creating new jobs and livelihood opportunities,' said Kumar in a LinkedIn post.
The executives met Prahlad Joshi to discuss the company's approach to consumer rights, sustainability, and its role in advancing India's digital economy.
Kumar said the discussion focused on the company's consumer-first policies and commitment to fair and transparent practices. 'With Minister Joshi, we discussed key consumer affairs priorities and shared Flipkart's efforts in maintaining transparent, fair, and consumer-friendly policies,' he said. 'We highlighted our strong focus on resolving customer grievances swiftly and effectively, driven by a customer-first mindset.'
Kumar also outlined Flipkart's sustainability efforts, including its push toward electric vehicle adoption, renewable energy usage, and eliminating single-use plastic across its supply chain.

‘Complaints of fraud over 6cr must be filed with CBI'
Lucknow: A bank fraud of less than Rs 6 crore – be it in public or private sector – should be reported to the state police while the complaint of a fraud of more than Rs 6 crore should be filed with the CBI, said joint director of Lucknow unit of CBI, Ashok Kumar. Addressing UP Police personnel during a session on Monday, Kumar said critical elements of criminality were often overlooked or misunderstood. "Banks frequently rely on internal audits or internet-based policy checks to flag issues, without examining the deeper criminal intent behind a transaction or fraudulent behaviour," he said. "Investigating officers and supervisory personnel should not only identify where the mala fide intent originated but also collect legally admissible evidence to support prosecution. Basic regulatory lapses begin right from company registration stage. Often, KYC norms, PAN verifications, and document authenticity checks are skipped — allowing fraudulent businesses to access large loans," Kumar said. "Bank fraud is highly technical, involving complex financial layering and misuse of credit facilities," he said, urging investigators to constantly upgrade their domain knowledge and forensic capabilities. The officer also underlined patterns of misleading Fraud Assessment Reports (FARs) including forged invoices, shallow inspections, fake CA certificates, and loan diversions.
