News reports suggest that in late 2025 or early 2026, investors can expect Flipkart IPO. Flipkart is India’s leading e-commerce company owned by Walmart. In a major move, the company’s board has approved plans to shift its base from Singapore back to India.
The decision to relocate its holding company back to India reflects Flipkart’s commitment to the country where it was founded and built. As per news reports, this move aligns Flipkart’s structure with its operations and growth in India’s booming digital economy.
As per news reports, Flipkart wants to stay closer to its customers, sellers, and partners. By moving its headquarters to India, Flipkart hopes to improve its speed, focus, and support for local innovation.
India’s push to improve the ease of doing business has also encouraged many startups to move their base to India. Flipkart now joins other firms like PhonePe, Zepto, Dream11, and Groww, which have already returned.
Flipkart has also taken another step toward the transition. Its India-based unit, Flipkart Internet, approved a resolution to issue bonus shares worth ₹26,552 crore to its Singapore-based entities. This is part of the process of shifting ownership and structure.
Flipkart was last valued at US$33 billion after raising US$600 million in December 2023. Earlier in 2021, it was valued at US$37.6 billion when it raised US$3.6 billion led by SoftBank. The valuation dropped after Flipkart separated from PhonePe.
The relocation is expected to support Flipkart’s IPO plans and strengthen investor interest. With its base in India, the company will likely be more attractive to Indian retail and institutional investors.
Flipkart’s decision to return to India marks a new chapter in its journey. With an IPO on the horizon and strong support from the Indian market, Flipkart aims to grow bigger and better in the country where it all began.
