How to Create a Flipkart Seller Account

Nowadays, doing online business has become very easy, and one example of this is Flipkart. Flipkart was launched in India on 15th September 2007. Its founders are Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal. In the beginning, it was only an online platform for selling books. They had previously worked in companies like Amazon. Flipkart was not India’s first e-commerce platform; before it, there were others like Rediff Shopping, Indiaplaza, etc. However, Flipkart quickly made a place in the hearts of many people. As I mentioned, at first Flipkart only sold books, but now this website sells products in every category, whether it is phones, fashion, household items, electronics, or other products.
