What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A group of former senior Flipkart executives, including Mukesh Bansal and Sanjay Baweja, has asked Walmart to buy out their vested employee stock options (ESOPs). The request was made because Flipkart’s India IPO remains without a confirmed timeline. Walmart responded that it takes the feedback seriously and is looking into the matter.
