Sachin and Binny Bansal aren’t the Cinderella story they’re sold as—they’re IIT Delhi grads, ex-Amazon engineers, and textbook products of India’s most elite system. They didn’t hack Flipkart into existence in a dingy cyber café—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 wasn’t a garage startup—it was a VC darling from day one, raised on Tiger Global money, and grew by blitzscaling, not brilliance. Their “build in India, exit to Walmart” arc wasn’t disruption—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 didn’t break the system—they mastered it. Their success wasn’t rebellion—it was privilege in a hoodie.
