flipkart: Flipkart’s new app design takes it from India to Bharat

Flipkart Jumping from India to India has completely redesigned its mobile app. The Walmart-owned company aims to meet India’s demand through new updates. As part of the redesign, the shopping sections on the homepage get a new place and navigation. “For the first time, millions of Internet users were exploring e-commerce, not just from Metro, but from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, and it was imperative to create a user experience that meets the different needs of users,” the company said in a statement.
Revamp introduces design changes that the company says will enable seamless navigation across a wide range of products and services and make the Flipkart mobile app experience intuitive for its customers. Design changes are said to be based on user design principles surrounding uniformity, predictability, ease of use and creating a man-first app design.

Flipkart says it is designed to help new customers who are exploring online grocery shopping for the first time. E-Taylor has expanded its grocery availability to 1,800 cities across the country.

Over the past year, Flipkart has launched several new segments, and had the opportunity to reduce the consumer experience gap by simplifying navigation and improving design for a simpler experience. About six variations of the navigation design A / B were tested over thousands of clients over a period of two months and qualitative insights were also gathered through user-research, which helped create a man-first app design.
