Flipkart CEO mails staff on change of plans

Bengaluru: Flipkart CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy said on Monday that the home-grown ecommerce company respects the government's decision to recall its previous order permitting ecommerce companies to deliver non-essential products.

“We respect the decision because the government has many complex scenarios to manage while protecting more than a billion people in the country,” Krishnamurthy wrote in an email to employees. ET has reviewed a copy of the email.

The Walmart-owned ecommerce giant had already begun moving smartphones and other electronics items to its fulfilment centres.
