Binny Bansal quits Flipkart board

The development comes after around six months of Bansal selling an entire stake in the company

New Delhi: E-commerce major Flipkart co-founder Binny Bansal has resigned from the company’s board, according to a company statement.

“I am proud of the Flipkart Group’s achievements over the past 16 years. Flipkart is in a robust position, with a strong leadership team and a clear path forward, and with this confidence, I have decided to step aside, knowing the company is in capable hands. I wish the team the best as they continue to transform experiences for customers, and I remain a strong supporter of the business,” Bansal said.

He co-founded the e-commerce firm with Sachin Bansal in 2007.

Sachin Bansal stepped down from the Flipkart board in 2018 after Walmart acquired a 77% stake in the company at a valuation of $21 billion.

Besides being an active angel investor, Binny Bansal has also started his firm to provide marketing support to sellers on e-commerce platforms.

“His insights and deep expertise in the business have been invaluable to the Board and company. Flipkart is the outcome of a great idea and a lot of hard work, built by teams committed to transforming how India shops. We wish Binny the best as he embarks on his next venture and thank him for the deep impact he has enabled for the Indian retail ecosystem,” Flipkart CEO and board member Kalyan Krishnamurthy said.

The valuation of Flipkart has increased to around $38 billion. The firm, however, continues to run in losses.

The company posted a 9.4% increase in consolidated net total income to Rs 56,012.8 crore in financial year 2023 against Rs 51,176 crore in FY 2022.

Despite a rise in the total income, Flipkart’s consolidated loss widened to Rs 4,890.6 crore in FY23 from Rs 3,371.2 crore a year ago.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
