According to a report by Reuters on 14th June, Walmart Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey stated that Flipkart, the Indian eCommerce platform owned by Walmart, has the potential to become a US $ 100 billion business in the future. Walmart currently surpasses its rival Amazon in eCommerce sales in India, largely due to the strong performance of Flipkart, which holds a dominant 48 per cent market share.
