Prioritising Flipkart’s Big Billion Day sales: Walmart International CEO McKenna

Walmart is prioritising the holiday season across major markets, including in India, as online sales grow globally as well as in the United States, Walmart International president and chief executive Judith McKenna said.

Walmart is also on track to record $75 billion in global ecommerce sales by the end of this year, the US-based retailer said.

Walmart saw ‘strong sales growth’ in Flipkart (India) as well as Mexico and China in its international markets, the company said.

“We are prioritising the Holiday season. In India, we are prioritising the Big Billion Day, which is the Diwali festival coming up in early November,” McKenna told analysts during its quarterly earnings call.
