The relocation comes more than a decade after Flipkart moved its headquarters overseas. The company is targeting a stock market debut in India in the financial year ending March 2027, people familiar with the company told TechCrunch.

Walmart-owned Flipkart’s IPO plans come as the country’s e-commerce market expands rapidly, thanks to a growing internet user base that’s already crossed a billion subscribers. The relocation mirrors a broader trend of Indian startups, including Zepto and Groww, relocating their overseas holding structures back home in recent years as they seek to go public. Groww went public last year, while Zepto filed confidentially for an IPO in December.

Flipkart’s gross merchandise value reached about $30 billion in 2025, sources told TechCrunch, up from roughly $23 billion in 2021. The platform has more than 500 million customers and 1.6 million sellers across the country, while its logistics arm Ekart delivers to more than 22,000 PIN (Postal Index Number) codes nationwide.

Founded in 2007 in Bengaluru, Flipkart was one of several Indian startups to set up overseas holding structures as they sought to attract foreign investment, benefit from tax advantages, and better navigate India’s regulatory environment at the time. In 2018, Walmart acquired a majority stake in Flipkart for $16 billion.

India has been encouraging more technology companies to list domestically as companies seek greater regulatory clarity and simpler tax structures by moving their headquarters back home.

Flipkart announced plans to move its headquarters back to India in April 2025. By September, the restructuring had received in-principle approval from a Singapore court, while hearings related to the shift were also held before India’s National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, people familiar with the matter told TechCrunch at the time.

“Flipkart has received Government of India approval for its internal restructuring, pursuant to which Flipkart Internet Private Limited is now the holding entity of the Flipkart group. This completes the redomiciliation of the Flipkart group to India, a significant milestone that reflects our deep and long-term commitment to India,” a company spokesperson said.

As per a forbes report, cost remains an ever present challenge which does not seem to pass over to the user yet.

Cursor’s larger rivals are willing to subsidize aggressively. According to a person familiar with the company’s internal analysis, Cursor estimated last year that a $200-per-month Claude Code subscription could use up to $2,000 in compute, suggesting significant subsidization by Anthropic. Today, that subsidization appears to be even more aggressive, with that $200 plan able to consume about $5,000 in compute, according to a different person who has seen analyses on the company’s compute spend patterns.

Cursor also subsidizes some users, though it appears it doesn’t do so as much as Anthropic. Cursor has negative margins for consumer subscriptions, but its business plans operate on positive margins, according to a person familiar with its finances. Businesses that use Cursor can use the Teams plan, which is targeted at startups and is easy to cancel, or negotiate an enterprise contract, which is targeted at larger organizations.

Apple announced its new slate of laptops on Tuesday morning, including new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models that use Apple’s M5 chips. The Pro models were unveiled alongside the brand new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which Apple describes as its most advanced CPU cores yet.

The company said these updated M5 chips were specifically designed to make the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops better at handling intensive AI tasks, which are becoming more of a focal point for new Apple hardware. Both the new Air and Pro laptops can handle AI tasks up to 4x faster than their respective M4 predecessors, according to Apple.

These AI-centric upgrades may not be immediately noticeable for more casual users who aren’t trying to run a computationally intensive network of AI agents or generate fast 3D renderings. But these advancements permeate other aspects of the laptops as well.

MacBook Air users get perks like 18 hours of battery life (a six-hour improvement compared with the last Intel-based Apple laptops from 2020), as well as a 12MP Center Stage camera for video calls, a three-mic array, and a sound system that supports Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos. The MacBook Air has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe charging port, and a classic 3.5mm headphone jack.

The new MacBook Air lineup comprises a 13-inch model (starting at $1,099) and 15-inch model (starting at $1,299), with color options in sky blue, midnight, starlight, and silver. The Air also now comes with starting storage of 512 GB, doubling the previous model’s base storage capacity.

As usual, the MacBook Pro is geared toward more technical users, especially developers working with AI. The M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are up to 4x faster at LLM prompt processing than the M4 Pro and M4 Max, and up to 8x faster at AI image generation than the M1 Pro and M1 Max.

Apple says this makes it possible for AI researchers and developers to train custom models on their device, and creative users could benefit from faster 3D rendering, video editing, and music production work.

The MacBook Pro also features up to 2x faster read/write performance than the last generation, and will start at 1TB of storage for the MacBook Pro with M5 Pro, and 2TB for the MacBook Pro with M5 Max. Apple says these laptops have up to 24 hours of battery life, and with a 96W or higher USB-C adapter, users can charge to 50% battery in 30 minutes. The laptops support Thunderbolt 5 and have a six-speaker sound system.

The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro chips start at $2,199 and $2,699, respectively, whereas the models with the M5 Max chips start at $3,599 and $3,899, available in either black or silver colorways.

All of these laptops will be available for preorder on Tuesday, March 4, and will available beginning on Wednesday, March 11.
