Bengaluru, April 16, 2026: Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, has been recognised among the Best Organisations for Women 2026 by ET Edge. The recognition reflects the company’s continued focus on building a workplace that enables women to participate, grow, and lead at scale.

Aligned with this year’s theme of “Power. Progress. Parity.”, the award acknowledges organisations that are driving measurable impact through inclusive policies, equitable opportunities, and a strong culture of belonging. The recognition signals a shift in how inclusion is architected at scale – moving beyond isolated support programmes to a comprehensive framework that prioritises sustained career growth and leadership parity. At Flipkart, this is underpinned by an ecosystem of programmes and policies thoughtfully designed to support women at critical career milestones.

Initiatives such as Mom On Board, Springback, and Career & Cradle focus on enabling women through maternity transitions and return-to-work journeys, ensuring continuity in career progression while addressing real workplace challenges. These efforts are complemented by structured leadership development programmes such as Catalyze, which is focused on building a strong pipeline of high-potential women leaders across the organisation.

The company has also strengthened its approach to inclusive hiring and early talent development through initiatives such as Girls Wanna Code, GRiD, WIRED, and Vidyarthini, which expand access to opportunities for women across technology, supply chain, business development, and other key roles. Supporting these interventions is a framework of gender-neutral and flexible workplace policies, including parental benefits, childcare support, and employee-led communities such as The Parent Circle. Together, these initiatives enable sustained participation, leadership growth, and long-term career advancement for women across functions and levels.

Commenting on the recognition, Seema Nair, Chief Human Resources Officer, Flipkart, said, “Building an inclusive workplace that offers equal growth opportunities to all requires structural focus, not just intent. This recognition reflects our efforts to create systems that enable women to grow, lead, and build long-term careers at Flipkart. Our approach has been to design flexible yet high-impact pathways that reflect the diversity of the consumers we serve.”

Sunita Quadros, Chief Operating Officer, Times Strategic Solutions Limited, The Times Group, said, “The Best Organisations for Women 2026 recognition celebrates companies that are driving tangible progress in gender inclusion through structured interventions and measurable outcomes. Flipkart has demonstrated a comprehensive approach across hiring,development, and workplace practices, enabling greater participation and leadership of women in the workforce.”

As Flipkart continues to strengthen its people practices, the company remains focused on enabling women to participate, grow, and lead, supported by policies, programmes, and a workplace culture designed for long-term impact.
