Softbank also invested in Flipkart $2.5B which till date is huge loss making entity. But they dumped that crap on to Walmart and made a chunk of profit. Else it would be another dent on this poor vision fund.


Actually Walmart struck gold because along with Flipkart, they got PhonePe which is currently valued around 10B $: https://dailyfintech.com/2019/11/08/walmart-hits-gold-with-i...


PhonePe has not made any money so far as well and its valuation itself is questionable. But word is Walmart is looking into hiving off PhonePe from Flipkart and reduce its stake in PhonePe when sun is shining.


Ah, thanks for the link. I was totally unaware of this development.
