Flipkart’s Big Billion Days, India’s major festive shopping event, is themed ‘Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai’ this year. The sale features surprising offers and new partnerships aimed at creating unique experiences for shoppers.
One such innovation is Shubh Muhurat Deals, an idea that taps into India’s long-held belief in the power of auspicious timing. Conceptualised by DDB Mudra, the campaign is built on a consumer insight that in many households, people wait for the right ‘muhurat’ before taking big steps. From weddings to shifting homes or even buying a new car. Flipkart realised that shopping for large appliances like refrigerators, washing machines and televisions often falls into the same category of big, milestone purchases. Families don’t just look for the right price, but also the right time.

To bring this idea alive, Flipkart partnered with Astrotalk, one of India’s leading astrology and spiritual guidance platforms. Together, they created a calendar of auspicious moments from 23rd September to 2nd October, when exclusive deals on large appliances will drop on Flipkart. During these time slots, Astrotalk’s astrologers will guide shoppers on the best ‘muhurat’ to buy, effectively turning shopping into a tradition-backed ritual.
The ‘Shubh Muhurat’ times for each day will be announced by Astrotalk astrologers on live feed and social media channels and Flipkart channels, giving customers a new reason to plan their shopping around these moments. With deals available only at these windows, the act of buying transforms from a transaction into an auspicious family event.
Speaking about the initiative, Rakesh Krishnan, Vice President, Large Appliances at Flipkart said, “At Flipkart, we always try to go beyond just discounts and create experiences that feel deeply personal and relevant to our customers. ‘Shubh Muhurat Deals’ is one such initiative that brings together tradition and technology. For many households, buying a big appliance is a moment filled with meaning, and with this campaign, we are making it even more special by aligning it with the most auspicious times of the season.”
Adding to this, Puneet Gupta, Founder and CEO at Astrotalk, said, “At AstroTalk, we have taken astrology to every household where people ask us when to buy a home? Or when to sign the lease? And many families also ask ‘what’s the ‘shubh muhurat’ to buy something new for their homes?’ This partnership with Flipkart’s Big Billion Days is our way of answering that at scale. We’re not just helping customers choose the right products, but also the shubh ‘shubh muhurat’, so that every purchase carries good energy and good fortune with a goal to fill their home not just with appliances, but with positivity, happiness and goodness.”

With this cultural crossover, Flipkart is aiming to prove that in the season of ‘Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai’, even shopping can be written in the stars.
