Flipkart announces 105 percent bonus multiplier for 2025, benefits about 20000 staff, follows 300 layoffs, leadership changes and reverse flip ahead of IPO.
Flipkart has announced a 105% company performance multiplier (bonus) for 2025, offering a positive update for its workforce. The decision was shared through an internal communication by Chief Human Resources Officer Seema Nair and reflects the company’s strong overall performance during the year.
Strong Performance Drives Bonus Decision
The company said the bonus multiplier is based on progress across key areas including business growth, operational efficiency, financial performance, and people metrics. It also highlighted continued momentum and a steady move toward sustainable profitability as key reasons behind the payout.
Payout Timeline and Eligibility
As per the internal communication, employees at SD level and below will receive their bonus payouts in March. Meanwhile, Vice Presidents (VPs) and Senior Vice Presidents (SVPs) will get their payouts after the closure of the 2025 performance cycle. Sources suggest that around 20,000 employees are likely to benefit from this announcement.
Layoffs Cast a Shadow
The bonus announcement comes shortly after the company laid off around 300 employees as part of its annual performance review process. While the layoffs were performance-linked, the timing of both developments highlights the company’s focus on balancing cost efficiency with rewarding performers.
Leadership Changes and IPO Moves
In parallel, Flipkart has made key leadership changes. Nishant Verman has been appointed as Senior Vice President for Corporate Development and Partnerships, where he will work on strengthening strategic initiatives. Additionally, Group CFO Sriram Venkataraman will step down, with Ravi Iyer taking charge of the broader finance function.
The developments also come amid reports that the Walmart-owned firm has completed its reverse flip, a move seen as a step toward its much-anticipated IPO.
