Flipkart CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy, while addressing YourStory's event TechSparks 2019, said that his 'big dream' is to take the company to an IPO, or 'a real exit', in the next three years. He added that the 'real exit' will take time and that work needs to be done. In 2018, Walmart acquired a 77% stake in Flipkart for $16 billion.
