Walmart’s Indian e-commerce company Flipkart has internally raised its IPO valuation target by around a third to $60-70 billion, and now plans a US listing in 2023 instead of this year, two people directly aware of the plan said. Flipkart, which competes with Amazon.com Inc in India’s booming e-commerce space, had earlier set an IPO valuation goal of $50 billion. The main reason for waiting for the IPO is due to Flipkart’s internal plan to boost valuations further by focusing on two of its relatively new businesses—online healthcare services and travel bookings.
