What Ekart Logistics does

Ekart Logistics is India's largest logistics and supply chain company, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flipkart (majority-owned by Walmart). Founded in 2009 as Flipkart's in-house logistics division and fully acquired by Flipkart in 2015, Ekart provides end-to-end fulfillment services — including inventory positioning, last-mile delivery, and supply chain optimization — to enterprise clients such as IKEA, direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands, and e-commerce platforms across 30+ Indian cities. Headquartered in Bengaluru with 5,001-10,000 employees, the company serves as the operational backbone of Flipkart's marketplace while increasingly monetizing its third-party logistics capabilities externally. Following Flipkart's March 2026 'reverse flip' from Singapore to India, Ekart has been consolidated under Flipkart Internet Pvt. Ltd. ahead of the parent's planned Indian IPO.

The company runs a technology-led fulfillment network featuring proprietary routing optimization, a 100% electric vehicle last-mile fleet, and specialized capabilities for large-format retail items. Its technology stack supports a 48-hour delivery service-level agreement with IKEA (covering 600+ catalogue products) and powers Flipkart Minutes' quick-commerce infrastructure (500 dark stores in 30+ cities, scaling to a targeted 1,000 by March 2026). Additional integrations include ONDC network connectivity, expanding Ekart's addressable market beyond the Flipkart ecosystem.

Ekart's revenue model is B2B third-party logistics (3PL) managed services, with quote-based pricing for inventory management, fulfillment, and last-mile delivery. The company has reported 8x growth in monetizing supply chain capabilities with external D2C and enterprise clients, indicating a deliberate diversification of revenue away from a pure Flipkart-internal cost center. Distribution channels include direct enterprise sales, ONDC-based open-network fulfillment, and embedded logistics within the Flipkart ecosystem.
