Sachin Bansal's Journey so far...
- After finishing his schooling from Chandigarh, Sachin Bansal cracked the JEE and enrolled in IIT Delhi where he completed his B Tech in Computer Science in 2005
- Following his graduation, Bansal joined the Bangalore-based Techspan as an Associate where he worked for five months. He later joined Amazon as a Senior Software Engineer in January 2006
- It is in Amazon where he met his college batchmate Binny Bansal and the duo decided to set up an e-commerce platform after attempting to build an online shopping comparison engine. Sachin worked with the American e-commerce firm for a year and nine months
- With Rs 4 lakh and a small flat in southeast Bangalore, Sachin and Binny Bansal - who are not related to each other - set up Flipkart in 2007. The duo started off with selling books in Bangalore and its suburbs
- Sachin became the CEO and Binny COO of Flipkart. Initially the Bansals bet on word-of-mouth marketing among friends, peers, cousins, family members and some bit of social media
- In 2010, Flipkart surged ahead by diversifying into selling electronics, digital movies, music and games. What helped the startup leap ahead was the introduction of a cash-on-delivery model
- Under the leadership of Sachin Bansal, Flipkart attracted world-renowned venture capitalists like South Africa's Naspers, Accel Partners, investment firm Tiger Global, San Francisco-based multi-family office ICONIQ Capital and Japan's SoftBank
- Sachin quit as CEO of Flipkart in 2016 and became Executive Chairman. However, after 10 years with India's top startup and in an abrupt decision, he exited from Flipkart by selling his entire 5.5% stake to Walmart for an estimated $1 billion. Walmart bought a controlling stake in Flipkart for $16 billion
- Since his exit, Bansal started a new firm called Navi Technologies and has been pursuing opportunities in the BFSI space. He has also applied for a bank licence
- Bansal has been investing in Indian startups since 2014 in his personal capacity and after his exit from Flipkart, he has made a big investment in ride-hailing firm Ola. He has also invested in startups like Grey Orange, Inshorts, Unacademy and TeamIndus
- He is considered as the flagbearer of the startup ecosystem in India, which began to take shape with the success of Flipkart.
Before you go...
- Bansal loves gaming and he wanted to drop out of IIT to become a gamer. Thanks to this, he took an additional year to complete his degree
- The first product that Flipkart sold was a book titled, 'Leaving Microsoft to Change the World' by John Wood
- Bansal's parents wanted him to work with an MNC and braved fierce parental opposition to start up on his own
- The entrepreneur has admitted that he is very impulse-driven, emotional and intuitive
