  • The general parameters will be:
    • Depth of analysis: The depth of customer/product analysis that you have conducted which best diagnoses a problem and helps in identifying a solution. Your proposals will be assessed on the qualitative and quantitative aspects that you cover as a part of your submission.
    • Originality and innovation: Flipkart has been a pioneer in coming with unprecedented solutions for Indian customers and we expect you to do the same. While we appreciate the fact that you will be conducting benchmarking exercises for the project, the solutions should also be original and innovative enough to be potentially launched for the Flipkart customers.
    • Viability and implementability: Good ideas don’t mean anything unless they can be translated into action. Make sure you include the granular details of how you plan to execute your ideas in your final proposal.
    • Presentation skills: In Flipkart, if you can convince your stakeholders of your idea, you are ready to roll. That’s exactly what we expect of you when you step in front of the panel. So, make sure your pitch is focused and on point.
