Flipkart’s women leadership formula
Sharon Pais remembers the moment clearly. A woman coworker pulled her aside and told her how energising it was to simply see a woman in the C-suite walk into the room. “It wasn’t about power,” Pais, who is Head of Fashion at Flipkart and former Chief Business Officer (CBO) of Myntra, recalls. “It was about having different role models to relate to.”
That moment crystallises something quietly revolutionary happening inside the Flipkart Group. While India’s tech sector still grapples with diversity ratios that barely scrape double digits in executive roles, Flipkart has built one of the country’s most women-powered leadership teams in e-commerce.
