Walmart’s cash-&-carry biz may go to Flipkart

Flipkart group is likely to acquire the loss-making wholesale cash-and-carry business of its parent US retail giant Walmart in India. The move comes shortly after talks with the Tata Group, which was looking to pick up a stake in Walmart India, made no headway. Sources said the Flipkart group, which operates Flipkart and Myntra, is looking at a reverse acquisition of the B2B segment of Walmart and it will function as a subsidiary of the group. Flipkart is expanding its footprint in the online food and grocery segment and the acquisition of the B2B business provides strength to the supply chain.

Men buy more clothes online than women

Indian men are more avid shoppers of clothing online than women, according to market research firm Nielsen’s maiden report on shoppers’ behaviour while making e-purchases. Women seem to have a higher proclivity to try out new clothes before buying. The study finds that men contribute 58% to the total online clothing sales, compared to just 36% by women. This is a trend across the top eight metros and the tier I cities, which contributed 29% and 71% of the value respectively. Kids’ clothing, which has been growing at a scorching pace over the last few years, accounted for just 5% of the apparel sales. Clothing sales are being driven by India’s young population and the ease in accessing brands.
