Kalyan Krishnamurthy on the opportunities that ecommerce sector can offer to upcoming startups

Kalyan Krishnamurthy, the man at the helm of eCommerce giant Flipkart, maybe the Chief Executive Officer of the company, but in his mind the critical role of a CEO is being an enabler, or more precisely the Chief Enabling Officer.

During a rapid-fire at a fireside chat with YourStory Founder and CEO Shradha Sharma, the investor-turned-executive announced that his ‘big dream’ was to take the e-commerce giant to an IPO, or what he called ‘a real exit’, in three years.

At the 10th edition of YourStory's flagship event Techsparks, Kalyan revealed that the secret to being an effective CEO was having a high-level vision, a solid team, and grooming talent.

He added that 50 percent of his time was spent on hiring and grooming talent, and focusing on inculcating values and behavior of employees; the remaining was spent with investors and government.
