Flipkart's journey from 2BHK apartment to $21-billion firm
India's biggest e-commerce startup Flipkart began as an online bookstore at a 2BHK apartment in Bengaluru's Koramangala 11 years ago by IIT Delhi alumni Sachin and Binny Bansal. Initially, the Bansals themselves delivered books across Bengaluru on their scooters. Flipkart's Series A funding of $1 million came in 2009 while the last in 2017 was India's largest-ever at $2.5 billion.
