Flipkart CEO asks staff to focus on customers

BENGALURU : There should not be any distinction between online and offline in these challenging times and the objective should be to provide customers what they need at their doorsteps, Kalyan Krishnamurthy, chief executive officer, Flipkart Group, said a day after the Centre revoked the permission for sale of non-essential goods by e-commerce firms during the lockdown.

Flipkart will continue to deliver groceries and essentials to customers, in partnership with sellers, kirana stores, and other stakeholders, Krishnamurthy said in an internal mail to employees on Monday.

“Over the next few days, please continue to focus on exploring new, innovative ways to drive value for our ecosystem of sellers, brands, partners, kiranas and customers,” he said.
