Flipkart executive chairman and co-founder Sachin Bansal will be delivering orders personally to customers at their homes tomorrow in Chandigarh as part of the Big Billion Days sale season.

Bansal, who was born and brought up in Chandigarh and is one of the pioneers of the e-commerce industry in the country, will be handing over the packages himself.

According to sources, Bansal will meet shoppers personally and hear about their experience with the e-commerce portal. He will be charting streets that he grew up in and delivering parcels.

This was Flipkart’s third edition of the Big Billion Days, and the company claims this year’s sale was definitely bigger and better. The company also crossed the 100-million registered users mark recently, becoming the first to reach this milestone in a single country outside the US and China.

 Flipkart clocked Rs 1,400-crore sales in a single day. This has also been the first time that sales on a particular e-commerce platform have surpassed the total sales of all organised retail across India, which stands around Rs 1,070 crore.
