E-commerce major Flipkart increased its intake from 18 to 118 this year. Sachin Bansal, co-founder, Flipkart said, "Campus hiring is strategic for us. It helps us identify and bring new talent."

And he added that, "Past experience has shown us that talent from tier-I colleges like the IITs and IIMs and the way they meet the challenges posed by a high-growth environment like ours has been remarkable -- and a great fit for an organization like Flipkart that stresses on ownership and innovation.".

Other companies like EXL service, a business process outsourcing company, who is also part of the hiring process for example has made around 97 offers across 7 IITs this particular year. This is a rise by about 51 offers compared to the previous year where it made only 46 offers across 5 IITs.
