The Flipkart Netflix Plan is a new loyalty reward that lets Flipkart Plus members earn a free 30-day Netflix Mobile Plan every month by completing four qualifying orders of Rs 299 or more, starting August 1, 2026, Flipkart and Netflix announced.
The perk applies across Flipkart, Flipkart Grocery, and Flipkart Minutes, the company’s quick-commerce arm. Once a member completes the fourth eligible order in a calendar month, the Netflix Mobile Plan activates directly inside the Flipkart app, with no separate subscription, login, or bundled recharge required (Flipkart-Netflix joint announcement).
StartupFeed Insight
The clever part of the Flipkart Netflix Plan is that it rewards habit, not spend. At Rs 299 per order, four monthly orders mean a floor of roughly Rs 1,196 in purchases, which Flipkart already sees from active grocery and quick-commerce users. For Netflix, it is a low-cost acquisition funnel into Tier 2 and Tier 3 India without discounting its own price. Watch grocery and Flipkart Minutes order frequency: expect StartupFeed to see Flipkart report a measurable lift in repeat Plus orders within two quarters, by early 2027, as members chase the monthly reset.

Flipkart Netflix Plan: How the Offer Works
The Flipkart Netflix Plan converts routine shopping into a monthly Netflix benefit rather than a paid or pre-bundled add-on. The table below breaks down the core terms, as confirmed by the Flipkart and Netflix announcement.
| Detail | What It Means | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Reward | Free 30-day Netflix Mobile Plan | Activated inside the Flipkart app |
| Who qualifies | Flipkart Plus members | Membership is free |
| Condition | Four orders of Rs 299 or more | Within one calendar month |
| Eligible platforms | Flipkart, Grocery, Minutes | Orders across all three count |
| Go-live date | August 1, 2026 | Resets every month |
| Cost to user | No extra charge | No separate subscription or recharge |
The most notable detail is the reset: the benefit is not permanent. After the 30-day plan ends, members must complete another four qualifying orders to unlock Netflix again the following month.
About Flipkart
Flipkart is India’s largest home-grown e-commerce company, founded in 2007 by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal and headquartered in Bengaluru. It operates a marketplace model across electronics, fashion, grocery, and quick commerce via Flipkart Minutes. Walmart holds a majority stake after its 2018 acquisition, and Flipkart Plus is the company’s free loyalty programme built around SuperCoins and shopping rewards.
How do you unlock the Netflix Mobile Plan?
To unlock the Flipkart Netflix Plan, a Flipkart Plus member must place four separate orders worth Rs 299 or more each within a single calendar month, across Flipkart, Flipkart Grocery, or Flipkart Minutes. After the fourth qualifying order, the 30-day Netflix Mobile Plan activates through the Flipkart app.
Netflix’s first e-commerce partnership in India reflects the kind of high-impact, consumer-first collaborations the company wants to build, simple, rewarding and anchored in the way Flipkart Plus members already shop and engage, said Laurent Uguen, Vice President, APAC Partnerships, Business Development, Netflix.
Customers who are not yet Plus members can qualify for the programme by completing 15 orders over 12 months, at no additional cost, according to the companies. Once enrolled, they follow the same four-order monthly path to earn Netflix.
Why does this Flipkart Netflix Plan matter?
The Flipkart Netflix Plan matters because it reframes loyalty as earned entertainment rather than a discount or a paid bundle. It is the first time in Indian e-commerce that Netflix can be earned through everyday shopping instead of purchased separately, the companies said.
As grocery, daily essentials and quick commerce become an increasingly important part of how customers shop, the partnership adds entertainment as a reward built around habits customers already have, said Ravi Iyer, CFO and Senior Vice President, Strategic Partnerships, Flipkart.
For Flipkart, the design nudges repeat orders across its grocery and quick-commerce arms. For Netflix, it opens a distribution channel into households that shop regularly but may not pay for a standalone plan, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
How does it compare with telecom OTT bundles?
India’s usual route to bundled Netflix runs through telecom and broadband plans, where the streaming benefit is paid for inside a recharge. The Flipkart Netflix Plan differs because it is earned through shopping, not bought. The comparison below shows the contrast.
| Route | How Netflix Is Obtained | Recurring Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Flipkart Plus | Earned via four monthly orders | Rs 299+ per order, no fee |
| Telecom postpaid | Bundled inside recharge | Paid plan, often Rs 1,199+ |
| Broadband | Bundled with OTT pack | Paid plan, often Rs 1,498+ |
What makes Flipkart’s approach different is that the member pays nothing extra for the benefit itself, since the spend goes toward products they were likely buying anyway.
What’s Next
The Flipkart Netflix Plan goes live on August 1, 2026, and its early success will show in Flipkart Plus repeat-order data through the festive season. If the monthly reset drives consistent re-qualification, expect Flipkart to test similar earned-benefit tie-ups with other services by 2027. Will earned entertainment become the new standard for Indian loyalty programmes?
