There is a silent constant evolution of the elements positioned, image sizes, brightness, ordering etc. and all this with serious experimentation. Being one of India's top web properties flipkart.com has all the challenges from SEO, SEM, cross browser portability, testing across various browsers, Website design, Images, A/B Testing, Self Serve forms with complex validations, Self Serve forms and Javascript, site download time for constrained bandwidth, apparent and real load time and real load time and site performance etc.

Online transactions are central to Flipkart and so the entire gamut requires a lot of the usual security etc.
