My point was, it's more than tech. It's how your business is run, it's how you apply tech to business problems, it's your vision of what your future company looks like.

"Apply tech to the US market" is really just part of a larger problem. It's like moving to AWS and assuming your velocity will speed up because "cloud things".

If Walmart has a vision and innovation problem, I doubt the hot new shiny is going to change that in the long term. Many companies adopt some new tech hoping it will save them, not realizing the real problems lie elsewhere.

May be plan is to learn a few things about running e-commerce business from FK. US and Indian market differs a lot, but combined Walmart and FK can tackle that I guess.
