Flipkart shuts Ekart's courier, hyperlocal delivery services
Homegrown e-commerce major Flipkart has shut down its logistics arm Ekart's customer-to-customer courier as well as hyperlocal delivery services launched less than a year ago. The move is reportedly aimed at consolidating the service offerings of Ekart to sharpen its focus on its core business model. Ekart's head Saikiran Krishnamurthy had quit the company two weeks ago.
