07:13 AM EDT, 04/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Walmart ( WMT ) -owned Flipkart is set to expand into India's rapidly growing movie and live events ticketing market, Reuters reported Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The company is targeting a launch as early as May to tap rising entertainment spending and smartphone use, bringing it into competition with BookMyShow and Zomato's District platform, the report said.

Reuters added that, at the same time, Flipkart is preparing to pilot a food delivery service, signaling a broader push into competitive, low-margin consumer segments.

Flipkart did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
