E commerce giant Flipkart has been making the headlines since May for its awe inspiring deal with the US retailer, Walmart.  Walmart acquired an enormous 77 % stake in Flipkart for $ 16 billion. Post this deal, Flipkart’s Co founder Sachin Bansal left the firm, leaving us all baffled. After  Sachin’s exit from the company, Binny continued as the Flipkart Group CEO. Months later, Binny Bansal finally breaks the ice on Sachin’s exit from the firm.

According to a source, Binny reveals his initial days with his mate Sachin Bansal, saying Sachin played a very crucial role in building the company. He was the CEO for most of the time of the company, and his vision steered us to where we are. Going forward, there are different things (Sachin Bansal) wants to do and I want to do, so that’s the decision we took. I think it was a good time because a major investor had come in.  The CEO cum comrade Binny Bansal also reminisced about how the two of them came up with their mastermind venture, in the beginning, we hadn’t defined our roles. He was better at doing things like designing the website and (search engine optimisation,) while I couldn’t get my head around it.

Binny Bansal also spoke his heart out regarding the business activities the duo used to look after. He said, on the other hand, I was more intuitive in meeting vendors and building the catalogue. These gradually became the roles. Sachin would think of how to grow the business and how to get customers, while I would think of how this could work at 10x the scale.  Speaking about further strategies for the e commerce firm Flipkart, Binny said the next 30 years are going to be very exciting. There are many opportunities for us in the core business.

With each passing year, the success of the firm is growing exponentially! From 130,000 third party sellers to expanding its product catalogue to a whopping 80 million products, Flipkart has been contributing immensely to the Indian e commerce ecosystem since its inception in the year 2007!

With the two comrades heading toward different paths, we wish both Binny Bansal and Sachin Bansal a successful future ahead!

Published

Startup Stories

Zoho Arattai messenger has rapidly gained popularity in India by offering features tailored specifically for Indian users, setting itself apart from global competitors like WhatsApp. Arattai delivers exceptional regional language support, intuitive low-bandwidth messaging, and a lightweight interface, making it especially accessible to rural communities and users on lower-end smartphones. This focus on localization and inclusivity gives Arattai a significant edge in the Indian market, ensuring seamless communication even in remote areas.

Beyond usability, Arattai places a strong emphasis on user privacy and data sovereignty. The app stores all user data within India and follows a strict no-ads, no data-selling policy, which guarantees that personal information remains secure and uncompromised.

Arattai’s transparent approach makes it a trusted and attractive alternative for those who value privacy and wish to avoid intrusive advertisements or AI profiling.

Unique features such as integrated meetings, TV compatibility, and advanced mentions functionality further establish Arattai’s position as a well-rounded and future-ready messaging app. These India-first innovations, combined with Arattai’s ad-free philosophy, clean interface, and powerful optimizations for local contexts, make it the preferred messaging solution for those seeking a modern, secure, and regionally relevant alternative to WhatsApp.

Apple’s iOS 18.7 vs iOS 26: Which Update Should You Choose for Your iPhone in 2025?

StartupStories iOS 26

Apple’s recent iOS 18.7 rollout provides a secure alternative to the visually revamped iOS 26, empowering iPhone users to choose between system stability and next-generation features. While iOS 18.7 focuses on important security updates and bug fixes, it maintains the familiar iOS experience for users of older devices like iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, and SE models up to the 16e. The update is lightweight—about one-fifteenth the size of iOS 26—which means quicker downloads and less storage consumption. It’s designed for reliability and fast installation, making it ideal for users who prioritize a stable and secure operating system over design changes.

In contrast, iOS 26 introduces Apple’s ambitious “Liquid Glass” interface with a transparent look across apps, enhanced widget and lock screen customization, smarter Siri, and improved camera controls. These innovations, however, come with a larger update size and compatibility exclusive to newer iPhones beginning from the iPhone 11 series. While early adopters can enjoy the futuristic interface and AI-powered upgrades, major OS launches may present initial bugs or app compatibility issues that cautious users typically wish to avoid.

Choosing between iOS 18.7 and iOS 26 depends on each user’s priorities—those seeking guaranteed stability and fast security fixes should consider sticking with iOS 18.7, while users excited about premium features and visual changes should migrate to iOS 26 if their device supports it. Both updates are available through Software Update settings, and Apple will support iOS 18.7 for only a limited duration, eventually encouraging all users to transition to the latest platform. This dual update strategy ensures every iPhone user can safely update their device for a seamless and secure experience in 2025.
