Just a month ago Flipkart had acquired Walmart India for a great deal in which it purchased a 100% stake in it. With this, the e-commerce giant has prepared to enter the Indian wholesale market, and in August, the company is going to bring Flipkart Wholesale. Nowadays After Amazon India gained Netmeds, Flipkart has also decided to enter the e-pharmacy segment. Before entering into the business of online medicine, Flipkart wants to make sure that there is no legal case left, which causes problems in the industry.
