How the Sale Started

Early numbers pointed the same way. In the opening hour of the 13th Big Billion Days, Flipkart reported 6.3 million concurrent users, more than six times a normal hour, and 34% growth in new customers.
| Opening-Hour Category | Growth |
|---|---|
| Large appliances | 30% year on year |
| Tablets | 73% year on year |
| Beauty | 42% year on year |
| Flipkart Minutes (quick commerce) | 3.5x order volumes |
Entry-level 5G phones held at last year’s prices also drew strong demand, which fits a year when many phone prices have risen.
What It Tells Us
- Steady, not explosive: Growth above 20% is healthy, but rivals reported bigger jumps at the start. Amazon, for example, said products ordered doubled in its opening phase.
- Value hunting: Shoppers chased deals on big purchases such as appliances and phones.
- Quick commerce is rising: Flipkart Minutes tripled and more in order volume on the opening day.
