Flipkart Ventures to back five early stage Indian start-ups

Flipkart Ventures, the investment arm of Flipkart, has chosen five early stage start-ups, Xportel, Factors.ai, Expertia.ai, Bharat Krushi Seva, and Visa2Fly, under the third cohort of its Flipkart Leap Ahead (FLA).

Through the FLA programme, these start-ups would receive equity investments up to $5,00,000 each along with a customised mentorship designed by a global consulting firm, said Flipkart Ventures on Thursday.

Participants would also gain strategic mentorship and industry expertise from Flipkart leaders across business, product, technology, and finance, enabling them to refine their models and scale efficiently in competitive and dynamic markets, the investment firm said.

Since its inception, Flipkart Ventures has backed over 20 Indian start-ups across deep tech, fintech, health tech, generative AI, and sustainability.
