Sachin Bansal has an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Sachin Bansal profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1 billion in 2019.
Sachin Bansal is an Indian entrepreneur best known for starting Flipkart. In 2007, he left Amazon and teamed up with Binny Bansal to launch the company as an online bookseller. They used $6,000 of their own savings and worked from an apartment. Over more than 11 years at Flipkart, he served as chief executive and later chairman. That run made him one of the best-known names in Indian internet business.
His wealth is tied mainly to Flipkart and the deal that ended his time there. In 2018, Wal-Mart bought a 77% stake in Flipkart for $16 billion, a huge transaction for an internet firm. Sachin Bansal sold his minority stake for $1 billion and exited the company. After that, he focused on Navi Technologies, a private financial services company, and also made bets on companies including Ola, Ather, and Chaitanya India Fin Credit.
How Sachin Bansal built his fortune
Bansal first built his wealth through Flipkart. He and Binny Bansal started the company in 2007 as an online bookstore. They began small, using $6,000 in combined savings and operating from their apartment. As Flipkart grew, Bansal spent more than 11 years there and held the top jobs, including chief executive and chairman. The business became the core source of the fortune that later put him on the Forbes billionaire rankings.
The biggest money event in his career came in 2018. Wal-Mart bought a 77% stake in Flipkart for $16 billion, and Bansal sold his minority holding for $1 billion. After leaving, he shifted toward investing and financial services. Navi Technologies offers financial products to middle-class customers. He also bought a minority stake in Ola for $100 million in 2019, sold Chaitanya India Fin Credit in 2023, and later moved at Navi from chief executive to executive chairman in 2025.
Forbes net worth and recent moves
Forbes estimated his fortune at $1 billion in 2019 after the Flipkart exit. That rose to $1.2 billion in 2020 and 2021, then to $1.3 billion in 2022 and 2023. Forbes later put him at $1.2 billion in 2024, 2025, and 2026 on its annual billionaires list. Those figures kept him in billionaire territory while his post-Flipkart business activity centered on Navi and a small group of investments.
As of October 20, 2026, Forbes' real-time tracker put Bansal at $1.1 billion. Around that period, his business profile was still tied to Flipkart, while his newer work included Navi Technologies and portfolio changes in other companies. Navi had filed a draft red herring prospectus in 2022, but the planned IPO was shelved. Forbes also noted that he exited Ather by selling his stake to Hero MotoCorp and Nikhil Kamath.
