Flipkart, owned by Walmart, is reportedly preparing to expand into India’s movie and live event ticketing segment, according to a Reuters report citing sources.
The e-commerce major is targeting a potential rollout as early as May, one source indicated. This move would position Flipkart against established platforms such as BookMyShow and Zomato’s District offering in the digital ticketing market.
The development comes amid growing momentum in India’s live entertainment sector, with large-scale concerts, global tours, and sporting events drawing significant audiences across major cities.
In a parallel development, Flipkart is also exploring a pilot in food delivery, which could launch around the same time, although timelines may evolve.
These initiatives are part of a broader set of strategic moves as Flipkart gears up for a potential initial public offering (IPO) in India. The company has been restructuring its operations, including relocating its holding structure to India, making leadership changes, and strengthening core verticals such as Myntra.
India’s food delivery space continues to be dominated by Zomato and Swiggy, while the ticketing market is led by established players with strong market presence. Founded in 2007, Flipkart remains a key competitor to Amazon in India’s fast-evolving e-commerce landscape.
