Hey I am on Medialย โ€ขย 3m

Sachin and Binny Bansal arenโ€™t the Cinderella story theyโ€™re sold asโ€”theyโ€™re IIT Delhi grads, ex-Amazon engineers, and textbook products of Indiaโ€™s most elite system. They didnโ€™t hack Flipkart into existence in a dingy cyber cafรฉโ€”they started with global experience, tech skills, English fluency, and enough privilege to quit steady jobs without fearing where the next meal would come from. Flipkart wasnโ€™t a garage startupโ€”it was a VC darling from day one, raised on Tiger Global money, and grew by blitzscaling, not brilliance. Their โ€œbuild in India, exit to Walmartโ€ arc wasnโ€™t disruptionโ€”it was distribution to the highest bidder. Meanwhile, Flipkart bled cash, underpaid delivery workers, and crushed small sellers with zero remorse. But they walked away billionaires, celebrated for creating value while leaving behind a company addicted to discounts and losses. Sachin and Binny didnโ€™t break the systemโ€”they mastered it. Their success wasnโ€™t rebellionโ€”it was privilege in a hoodie.
