About the Role

Flipkart Grocery is scaling its Staples business to become the #1 online destination for everyday essentials. As SM1 — Growth & BD, you will own the P&L; for a significant category cluster, drive selection depth, lead competitive pricing decisions, and build the GTM engine that puts Flipkart

Grocery front and centre with shoppers. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role sitting at the intersection of commercial, product, and marketing.

Key Responsibilities

- P&L; Ownership & Growth Management
- Own the category P&L; — revenue, margin, and contribution — with full accountability for monthly and quarterly targets.
- Drive GMV and order growth through demand-side levers (promotions, pricing, discovery) and supply-side levers (availability, serviceability, fill rates).
- Identify white-space growth opportunities within Staples; build and execute time-bound growth plans with clear milestones.
- Track category health metrics (traffic, conversion, returns, NPS) and course-correct proactively.

- Partner with key national and regional brands, D2C players, and local manufacturers to onboard right-fit supply.

- Work with the BD team to negotiate exclusives, priority onboarding, and co-marketing commitments.

and translate insights into action.

- GTM & Visibility Management
- Lead the end-to-end GTM for current brand launches, category expansions, and flagship sales events

(BBD, Republic Day, etc.).

- Partner with the marketing team to plan and execute on-app visibility — homepage banners,

(social, influencer, CRM).
