The MinTraq readiness lens for Flipkart
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at Flipkart.
Depth in your own area matters, from search and recommendations to merchandising and supply chain, applied to a very high-volume retail business.
Expect judgement to matter when demand spikes or plans change: prioritising quickly, trading speed against quality and acting with incomplete information.
Leadership tends to show as ownership of a customer outcome and the ability to rally cross-functional teams, from sellers to logistics, behind it.
AI supports personalisation, search, pricing and operations in retail, so showing practical use of AI tools and sound judgement about them is a real advantage.
