After graduating in CS (Computer Science) from the prestigious IITD (Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi), working for Sarnoff Technologies, getting rejected at Google, working for Amazon, Binny decided to start something.
Binny & Sachin initially planned of launching a comparison shopping engine for eCommerce.
But when they were building it, they realized all the e-commerce companies back then were really bad.
None of the customers liked any of them.
There was no point in reviewing/comparing bad companies!
So, they thought:
Why not build a good e-commerce company!
That's how the Flipkart idea started.
Feeling PROUD!!! to have worked at both Flipkart & Jabong (acquired by Myntra, which is a Flipkart company. Flipkart also recently got acquired by Walmart)
