Flipkart, one of India's leading online retailers, has released an official app for Windows Phone 8, allowing its customers to easily browse for and purchase products directly on their smartphone. A powerful search and filtering tool makes it easy to find specific products, brand, or categories, and the full range of Flipkart's payment options (cash on delivery, cards, EMI, NetBanking, Flipkart Wallet, and Flipkart EGVs) are also supported, as is full order tracking.

Flipkart is essentially the equivalent of Amazon for the Indian market, so the arrival of an official app is an important addition to the Windows Phone app line up in India. The design of the app is specific to Windows Phone, drawing on the same modernist design principles as the built-in apps, something that works particularly well for information heavy (catalogue-style) apps.
