Phased Product Plan for Flipkart's Mobile App for Marketplace Sellers

You are a product manager at Flipkart. Build a product roadmap for the Seller Hub mobile app, the app marketplace sellers use to manage their Flipkart business. ```hint Sequence by seller jobs Work out which sellers depend on the phone and which of their daily tasks they need to do away from a desk, then decide what has to work well before anything else can succeed. ``` ### Clarifying Questions - What time horizon should the roadmap cover, and is there a business goal it must serve, such as onboarding more sellers, retaining existing ones or growing advertising revenue? - Am I improving an existing app or planning from scratch, and does the desktop seller dashboard remain the main tool for some tasks? - Which sellers matter most: first-time sellers, established small businesses, or large brands that work through integrations? - Are there fixed dates the roadmap must work around, such as major sale events? ### What a Strong Answer Covers - A goal for the app and a deliberate choice of seller segments, grounded in what sellers actually do on a phone - Seller pain points across the lifecycle: onboarding, listing, fulfillment, returns, payouts and growth - A sequenced roadmap in phases, with a clear rationale for the order and the dependencies between items - Metrics for each phase plus guardrails that protect buyers and marketplace quality - Trade-offs and risks, such as parity with desktop and Flipkart's revenue goals versus seller outcomes ### Follow-up Questions - Leadership asks you to move advertising tools into the first phase to grow ad revenue. How do you respond? - How would the roadmap change around a major sale event, when sellers' order volume spikes? - How would you decide whether a feature belongs only on desktop, only on mobile, or on both?
