The power to cater to growing consumer needs, bring about innovation, become a trailblazer, and ignite the spirit of entrepreneurship is often unlocked through an ecosystem buoyed by strong partnerships.
Flipkart’s The Big Billion Days is a celebration of these very partnerships, which enable brands to reach customers across India, all while unlocking value and quality. It’s a collaboration that benefits an entire ecosystem of customers, sellers, brand partners, MSMEs, artisans, and much more.
This festive season, hear from top industry leaders and doyens of entrepreneurship from beloved Indian and global brands as they dive into The Big Billion Days sale. Whether it’s unique collaborations, new launches, or relationships that go back years, here’s their take on how partnering with Flipkart has created value for all.
Treading Paths To New Frontiers
Ecosystem partnerships pave the way to innovation, both in effort and execution. Special retail collaborations are a great example of this, bringing industry-first offerings to Indian consumers, setting trends, and creating opportunity.

The Big Billion Days always amaze me. Every year, I feel that it has hit the top, the zenith, but the new one comes with new energy and new opportunities every time. So, it has been this year. I’m extremely excited for this year’s Big Billion Days. I know that the teams have worked with a lot of planning. The fresh inventory, a wide range of products, new launches, a celebrity line called 1der with KL Rahul — all of these together make it all the more exciting. What I love about this event is that it really reflects the Flipkart culture, which is its growth mindset. It’s also extremely well planned and structured on one side, but what is amazing to see is the hustle on the other end! The energy that the event generates is really infectious for the partners as well.

We are now part of Pine Labs, and we are the largest provider of gift cards and prepaid solutions in the country today. Our relationship with Flipkart is almost a decade old. We started off powering gift card programs when Flipkart was a retailer. Subsequently, when it became a marketplace, we have been working with Flipkart on their own gift cards, and we are very proud of the fact that today Flipkart gift cards are one of the most desired gifting options in the country!
The kind of support that the Flipkart team has been providing us to make and scale this program has been tremendous. The way consumers have adopted this really makes us very happy. Talking of TBBD 2021, I’m sure it is an event all of us look forward to, including me as a consumer. I’m sure we’ll get some really great deals on Flipkart during this period and naturally the volume, specifically from our own gift card perspective, tends to scale up significantly during this period.
It is extremely important that we continue to work very closely with Flipkart to maintain the consumer experience. That’s something we have been doing very diligently over the years. We always go that extra mile to make that happen. This year’s TBBD is going to be unique; apart from its own gift cards, you can also look forward to 100+ brands of third-party gift cards that are available at great offers. I’m sure all of you would really enjoy purchasing these gift cards and experiencing them. Really looking forward to another fabulous TBBD at Flipkart!
