One of Israel’s leading technology startups, Upstream Commerce builds cloud-based, automated competitive pricing and product analysis solutions.

With the Upstream acquisition, we will now have tech and talent presence across Asia, US and Israel, some of the key global hubs for innovation. The team at Upstream Commerce is highly talented and as we welcome them to Flipkart. We are also looking forward to making Israel one of our excellence centres to do cutting-edge data science work.”
According to, Amos Peleg, CEO, Upstream Commerce, “We are excited to become a part of India’s largest e-commerce player. During our discussion, as we got to know more about Flipkart, we realized that we share the same passion for technology, and the same vision for the contribution of data science to the future and success of online retail.
