Walmart reported that Indian ecommerce marketplace Flipkart’s advertising vertical drove a 20% growth in its global advertising business during the second quarter of FY27. Walmart International’s net sales increased 12.8% year-on-year to $35.2 billion, supported by strong performance in India and China, while international ecommerce sales grew 19%. However, Walmart CFO John David Rainey noted that Q3 sales growth faces a 100-basis-point headwind due to the timing shift of Flipkart’s Big Billion Days sale. Concurrently, Flipkart is diversifying its core operations beyond retail, with plans to introduce a food delivery service in the coming weeks.
