The problem

Flipkart Supermart’s search and autosuggest needed to become more relevant for customers, and catalog quality across 300+ new SKUs a day needed governance to keep seller defects and complaints down.

The approach

Optimized catalog structure and tuned search relevance for autosuggest. Ran data taxonomy and catalog governance for 300+ daily SKUs. Analyzed 1,000+ customer reviews a week and NPS telemetry alongside 50+ weekly vendor partnerships, turning friction points into 3–4 actionable feature recommendations a month.

The impact

Autosuggestion click-through accuracy improved 20% in six months, search engagement rose 50%, and seller defect rates and complaints fell 15%.
