After protests from net neutrality supporters, Flipkart, one of India’s largest e-commerce businesses, has announced that it will pull out of Airtel Zero, a controversial platform planned by telecom operator Bharti Airtel. In a statement issued by Flipkart, the company said it has decided Airtel Zero and similar plans “[don’t] meet our standards of net neutrality and violates the principles that we stand for.” Airtel Zero will give consumers free access to services by launch partners who pay Bharti Airtel. In an interview with TechCrunch’s Jon Russell earlier this month, Bharti Airtel’s director of consumer relations Srini Gopalan said that Airtel Zero’s goal “is to help developers reduce their cash burn, it is not a walled garden.”
