Flipkart's behavioral rounds test ownership, bias for action, and decisiveness under the kind of pressure a Big Billion Days-scale launch creates.
In 2026 expect prompts about owning a problem end to end that wasn't strictly yours, responding when a high-stakes launch went wrong, and deciding with incomplete data under a tight deadline. Interviewers listen for initiative tied to a measurable customer or business outcome and for a defensible decision rule under ambiguity, not heroics or blame-shifting. Vague 'we worked as a team' answers get pushed until a specific, owned action emerges.
