On the third day of Flipkart’s Big Billion Day sale, Bansal has decided to do some of the deliveries in Bangalore personally. The whole idea according to a report in The Economic Times is to gain insights into the online customers psyche. According to Binny Bansal, co-founder of Flipkart, most of Flipkart’s top employees will go out for deliveries over the next 15-20 days. Sachin Bansal also recalled his early days when he along with co-founder Binny would go out on a scooter for book deliveries around Bengaluru.
