Flipkart, the Walmart-owned e-commerce giant, plans to add 5,000 employees to its workforce in 2025 as it expands its focus on quick commerce, fintech, and AI, according to Moneycontrol.
On May 26, Chief HR Seema Nair announced the hiring plan during the company’s townhall, Flipster Connect. A significant portion of this recruitment will be directed towards Flipkart’s hyperlocal delivery branch, Flipkart Minutes, and its expanding fintech platform, Super Money.
Flipkart Minutes aims to leverage the increasing demand for ultra-fast delivery of groceries and essential goods, competing with rivals like Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart. Group CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy stated that Minutes is performing exceptionally well and is central to Flipkart’s strategy to secure a significant position in the hyperlocal market.
In contrast, according to some reports Walmart is planning layoffs, following similar moves by Microsoft and Amazon. Reports indicate that Walmart may lay off around 1,500 employees, primarily affecting corporate staff at its Bentonville headquarters in Arkansas, and other offices. However, it has also been reported that Walmart plans to create new positions, which means that new vacancies will emerge following the layoffs.
