Flipkart’s initial public offering (IPO) is on the cards but there is no timeline for it, said Brett Biggs, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Walmart, the American retailer that owns the Indian e-commerce firm

"The (Flipkart) business is performing almost exactly like we thought it would. An IPO is still very much on the cards for that business,” said Biggs, at the Morgan Stanley Global Consumer & Retail Conference recently. “It's the timing. Is the business exactly where you want? Is the market right? All those things (we) have to figure into (when) you do an IPO.”
