This move further solidifies Walmart’s control over Flipkart and boosts its stake in the company. With this transaction, Flipkart’s valuation is estimated to be around $35 billion.

Tiger Global’s investment of $1.2 billion in Flipkart has resulted in an overall gain of $3.5 billion. Previously, in a funding round in 2021, Flipkart was valued at $37.6 billion. As of now, Walmart holds a 72 percent share in Flipkart.

To celebrate its separation from fintech firm PhonePe, Flipkart has initiated a “one-time discretionary” cash payment of $700 million to its employees.
