In October 2007, Mahabubnagar's VVK Chandra became Flipkart's first-ever customer after ordering a book– 'Leaving Microsoft to Change the World'. Chandra was a blogger and on one of his posts, a user named Sachin gave Flipkart's website address, through which he ordered the book. Binny Bansal went to Indiranagar himself to procure a copy of the book before shipping it.
