The reports we have come from four candidates who interviewed for Flipkart supply chain roles: SCCP Trainee, Supply Chain Manager and Supply Chain Team Lead. None of them applied for a Supply Chain Analyst title, so treat this as guidance for adjacent roles. All four describe aptitude or screening tests before any conversation. One candidate cleared two test rounds before meeting a zone head. Another took a roughly 45-minute assessment covering aptitude, basic supply chain and basic MS Excel. A third faced two tests, the second on supply chain and aptitude and slightly longer than the first.
The interviews that followed were largely scenario-based and resume-driven. One candidate was asked to walk through projects, an internship and club activities, then answered a scenario: if a customer receives a package that looks defective from the outside, where did the defect likely happen and how would you improve the process? Others describe questions on logistics bottlenecks, root cause analysis, inventory, warehouse operations and delivery delays, with interviewers more interested in reasoning than textbook definitions. Another candidate reports a plain question on what supply chain and logistics mean and why they wanted to join the team.
Behavioral and HR content appeared too: strengths and weaknesses, conflict, tight deadlines, communication and leadership. One candidate was asked whether they had read Flipkart's website and values. Outcomes varied: two candidates declined offers and two received no offer. Practice timed aptitude questions and basic Excel, and prepare to talk through your process out loud.

Real interview reports from people who went through the Flipkart process.
I started with a written aptitude test that was surprisingly tricky—two rounds covering basic reasoning and problem-solving. The questions felt designed to filter quickly, and I'd recommend not underestimating this part even though it's just aptitude. After that came multiple interview rounds, which were less technical than I expected going in.
The interviews themselves were mostly scenario-based and behavioral rather than heavy on formal supply chain theory. They asked situational questions—how I'd handle logistics bottlenecks, respond to unexpected problems, that kind of thing. There was definitely an emphasis on root cause analysis; they wanted to see how I'd break down a problem and think through solutions step by step. They also dug into my resume, asking me to walk through relevant experience and explain what I'd learned. It felt more conversational than interrogative, which helped me relax and think clearly.
One thing that stood out was the focus on how I respond under pressure. They weren't looking for a perfect textbook answer so much as confidence and a logical approach. The behavioral questions mixed in naturally—they wanted to know how I'd handled conflict or tight deadlines in past roles. If you're interviewing for this role, be prepared to articulate your problem-solving process out loud, because that's what they're really evaluating. The whole process felt manageable if you knew your background well and could think on your feet.
Prep tip from this candidate
Focus heavily on root cause analysis frameworks and scenario-based problem-solving rather than memorizing supply chain theory. Be ready to walk through specific examples from your background showing how you diagnosed and solved logistics or operational problems.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report clearing tests before any interview. One describes two test rounds, and another a two-round written aptitude test on reasoning and problem-solving. A third took a roughly 45-minute online assessment with aptitude, basic supply chain and basic MS Excel sections. Another had a first online test with five sections, followed by a longer supply chain and aptitude test. Pacing may matter.
One candidate reports a technical round that began with a two-to-three minute self-introduction, then line-by-line questions on projects, an internship and club activities. Another says interviewers asked about their background and why they wanted to join the supply chain team. Expect to explain each resume item in detail.
Candidates describe situational questions on logistics bottlenecks, unexpected problems, inventory, warehouse operations, delivery delays and damaged packages. Interviewers reportedly cared more about step-by-step reasoning and root cause analysis than textbook answers. Practice talking through a diagnosis and a proposed process fix out loud.
Candidates report HR-style questions on strengths and weaknesses, handling conflict or deadlines, communication, leadership, academics and Flipkart's values. One was asked whether they had gone through the company website thoroughly. One candidate describes this as a separate HR round, while another met a zone head. Format may vary by role.
