What to watch

  • Pilot approval rates, repeat usage, repayment rates and 30+/90+ day delinquency versus standard unsecured consumer credit.
  • Evidence that splitStore raises checkout conversion, average order frequency or customer retention on Flipkart.
  • Whether the product is funded through an NBFC/bank partner and the disclosed pricing, late-fee and customer-consent structure.
  • Expansion from closed-loop Flipkart purchases to super.money app merchants, external marketplaces or D2C checkout integrations.
  • Merchant subsidy levels and whether commerce reaches the stated 20% revenue target without outsized cashback expense.
  • Regulatory guidance on digital lending, first-loss arrangements, credit reporting and BNPL disclosure requirements.
  • Competitive responses from Flipkart ecosystem rivals, UPI/payment apps, banks and existing checkout-credit providers.
  • Expand splitStore from Flipkart pilot cohorts to selected high-frequency categories such as beauty, fashion, grocery-adjacent and affordable electronics.
  • Use repayment and shopping data to create risk tiers, with lower initial limits, autopay incentives and repeat-user limit increases.
  • Bundle splitStore with super.money rewards, UPI payments and cashback to increase app engagement rather than treat credit as a standalone product.
  • Sign D2C and marketplace merchant partnerships where merchants fund conversion-linked offers or discounts.
  • Add tighter collections, fraud monitoring and credit-bureau reporting infrastructure before opening the product beyond the Flipkart ecosystem.
