Flipkart ships more than 100000 items in a day which makes managing the logistics an overwhelming task for the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the cost of delivery is paid by the company itself, making logistics a financially complicated issue. Hence in order to successfully manage the logistics. Flipkart uses its in-house logistics known as eKart\u201f (EKL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The e-commerce company created E-Cart as a personal brand in April 2009 to serve the B2C side of WS-Retail, Flipkart and currently reaches consumers in around 150 cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>eKart currently provides services like Delivery Logistics, Reverse Logistics and cash on Delivery. It also provides customer support and technology integration for order tracking, customer notifications, and reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Digital_Marketing_Strategies\"><\/span>Digital Marketing Strategies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at how Flipkart used digital marketing to promote its products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flipkart mostly targets Indians who use the internet and don&#8217;t have time to visit offline shopping stores. Although its target audience is scattered across different market segments as consumers of all demographic backgrounds can find products of interest to them, 85% of its audience is between the age group of 16 to 55 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/ssl.gstatic.com\/trends_nrtr\/2884_RC01\/embed_loader.js\"><\/script>\n  <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    trends.embed.renderExploreWidget(\"GEO_MAP\", {\"comparisonItem\":[{\"keyword\":\"\/g\/11bc5mkml7\",\"geo\":\"IN\",\"time\":\"today 12-m\"}],\"category\":0,\"property\":\"\"}, {\"exploreQuery\":\"geo=IN&q=%2Fg%2F11bc5mkml7&date=today 12-m\",\"guestPath\":\"https:\/\/trends.google.com:443\/trends\/embed\/\"});\n  <\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_Engine_Optimization\"><\/span>Search Engine Optimization&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If we talk about organic traffic, Flipkart has achieved tremendous results through search engine optimization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"948\" height=\"115\" src=\"https:\/\/wafflebytes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/flipkart-2.png\" alt=\"flipkart seo \" class=\"wp-image-1903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wafflebytes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/flipkart-2.png 948w, https:\/\/wafflebytes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/flipkart-2-300x36.png 300w, https:\/\/wafflebytes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/flipkart-2-768x93.png 768w, https:\/\/wafflebytes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/flipkart-2-585x71.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 948px) 100vw, 948px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Flipkart is India&#8217;s largest online retailer and has worked hard to optimise its website for search engines.

Flipkart started with a direct-to-consumer model selling books and some other products, before turning to a marketplace model that connects sellers and buyers and expands its catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, it sells everything from smartphones to clothes to furniture to refrigerators to FMCG accessories &#8211; and yes, books too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flipkart claims to have millions of sellers from across India who list their products in over 80 categories. The average consumer may not care about who the seller is and the relationship he has with Flipkart. Whereas the seller who hasn&#8217;t exactly reached out to the customer can now do so thanks to Flipkart&#8217;s platform. To facilitate this transaction and fulfil the order, Flipkart charges different percentages as the commission fees from the seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_Flipkart_Subsidiaries\"><\/span>List of Flipkart Subsidiaries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the list of 10 Flipkart subsidiaries with a short description and the date of acquiring these companies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Myntra<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s another ecommerce online store acquired by Flipkart in May 2014.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PhonePe<\/strong> &#8211; is an Indian digital payment and financial technology company that Flipkart acquired in April 2016.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleartrip<\/strong> &#8211; This is a travel booking search engine globally famous for its incredible service.

The quick solution to tackle COVID-19 and offering essential items to the cities by Flipkart is commendable.
