Flipkart collaborates with top Indian institutes for real-life research

In an effort to tap the next 200 million users or Bharat consumers, Flipkart is deepening its collaborations with some of the top institutes in the country. The e-commerce giant is looking at real-life research in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation and natural language processing to solve some of the most critical industry problems with the help of professors and students. These collaborations are helping Walmart-owned Flipkart towards building a platform that is inclusive and accessible for Bharat customers. Majority of these users come from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and towns.

Flipkart has formed a memorandum of understanding with IIT Patna, as a step to strengthen Flipkart’s academic collaboration which it has been inculcating for past 5 years now.
