Flipkart, viaan official press release, reveals that the programallows people to sell their smartphones, be it an Apple device or a Lava device, on Flipkart and get Flipkart Electric Gift Vouchers in return. The gift vouchers can then be used to purchase any product on the e-commerce platform or deduct the voucher amount from the price of a particular product. Flipkart says that the Sell Back Programme is valid for any smartphone model, whether it was purchased from Flipkart or not.

Flipkart’s new Sell Back Program in India has been introduced after its recent acquisition of a re-commerce company named Yaantra. It is a company that focuses on recommerce offerings and provides access to quality refurbished smartphones for customers.
