Walmart’s Flipkart returns to India, clearing the way for IPO
Flipkart has shifted its holding company from Singapore to India, completing its redomiciliation ahead of a potential local IPO. The move positions Walmart, which bought Flipkart for $16 billion in 2018, to unlock value in India, where Flipkart and PhonePe compete for market share. PhonePe handled nearly 10 billion UPI transactions in January. India’s IPO market has slowed this year, with five listings by late February.
