MUMBAI: Walmart is exploring the right time for its Flikpart business to go public amid strong growth of the firm's India unit, the US retailer's international president and CEO
Kathryn McLay
said during the company's earnings call on Thursday.
"As the
Flipkart
business has grown, we have seen Myntra get to
ebitda
positive for the last two quarters.
We have seen some growth in premiumisation and all of that is lifting the profile of Flipkart's business. They are on track to the growth trajectory that we had them on, and we are looking and exploring when the right time to
IPO
that business will be," McLay said, adding that there's strong growth in both Flipkart and
PhonePe
.
The company's president and CEO
Doug McMillon
told analysts that that same-day delivery orders in India grew by over 150% in the quarter. With Indians increasingly gaining appetite for faster deliveries, Flipkart is also planning to enter the quick commerce segment soon.
