Flipkart Group CEO, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer meet FM Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi

Flipkart Group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Rajneesh Kumar met with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the national capital on Monday, August 4, 2025, to brief her on the company’s ongoing initiatives and business developments. The meeting focused on Flipkart Group’s growing footprint in India and its efforts to drive financial enablement across the country.

The leadership team briefed the Finance Minister on Flipkart’s initiatives aimed at enabling millions of small businesses — including MSMEs, artisans, weavers, farmers, FPOs, and local manufacturers — to expand market access through e-commerce. The executives outlined how Flipkart’s platform has become a key enabler of digital inclusion, offering underserved communities a pathway to participate in India’s growing digital economy.

A major area of focus during the meeting was financial empowerment. Flipkart discussed its efforts to improve credit access and deliver essential financial services to traditionally unbanked or underbanked communities through its ecosystem — a step seen as critical to supporting livelihoods and boosting participation from grassroots entrepreneurs.

The company also reaffirmed its India-first approach, including investments in supply chain development, skilling infrastructure, and job creation to support inclusive growth.
