India’s largest ecommerce company, Flipkart, is also one of the largest employers in the technology ecosystem, with more than 32,000 executives on its payroll. The company's organisational structure has been a playbook for many internet startups as they scale up their businesses in India.

PhonePe goes to market: The UPI champion’s toughest pitch yet

UPI made PhonePe a household habit and India’s biggest payments platform. But public markets won’t reward dominance alone. As it eyes a $12–15 billion IPO, PhonePe must prove its diversification bet—lending, insurance, broking—can become a second engine.
