Ecommerce major Flipkart is in the middle of raising $1 billion in fresh funds with Walmart committing $600 million, people aware of the matter said.
Flipkart’s latest financing is likely to value it at about 5-10% premium to its last valuation of $33 billion, people aware of the matter said. The Bengaluru-based web commerce company’s valuation was adjusted to $33 billion after PhonePe was separated from the group. Besides Walmart and other existing shareholders, new investors are also in talks to join the round, sources added.
An email sent by ETtech to Flipkart did not immediately elicit a response.
