In order to empower and prepare sellers better during the peak festive demand season and to avoid a re-run of last year’s technical and logistical glitches, Flipkart has worked up a special training schedule and manpower ecosystem programme.

Flipkart is starting its Big Billion Days sale from October 13 to 17. Last year, the mega event – the e-tailer ran for a day was marred with technical and logistical glitches. Several customers had reported automatic cancellation of orders after sellers ran out of stock. Later, Flipkart had to apologise to customers, acknowledging their experience was less than pleasant.
