Flipkart has confirmed that around 300 employees have exited the organisation as part of its annual performance-review process. The job cuts represent roughly 1.5 per cent of its workforce.
The e-commerce major said the exits were linked to its routine performance- management cycle. The company follows a structured evaluation framework in which employees are assessed against clearly-defined expectations. Based on the outcomes of these assessments, a small proportion of the workforce may transition out of the organisation.
Reports earlier suggested that the company had reduced headcount in recent weeks. However, Flipkart clarified that the departures were part of its regular review process followed every year. The company added that it is extending transition support to employees who have been impacted.
Performance-linked exits are common in large technology and digital- commerce firms. During annual review cycles, organisations typically assess employee performance, potential, and role alignment. In some cases, employees who fall below performance benchmarks may be asked to leave as part of workforce optimisation efforts.
The development comes at a time when Flipkart is preparing for its next phase of strategic restructuring. The company, which is owned by Walmart, has been making structural changes to streamline operations as it moves closer to a potential public listing in India.
A key milestone in this transition occurred in December 2025 when the National Company Law Tribunal approved Flipkart’s plan to shift the domicile of its holding company from Singapore to India. The move, commonly referred to as a reverse flip, is intended to align the company’s corporate structure more closely with its India-focused operations and simplified governance ahead of a potential listing.
As part of the restructuring process, several group entities including Myntra and Flipkart Marketplace are expected to be gradually integrated into Flipkart Internet.
