AS9752 FKNET-IN Flipkart Internet Pvt Ltd

AS9752 (FKNET-IN) is held by Flipkart Internet Pvt Ltd, the Bengaluru-based Indian e-commerce company. It is a corporate network — Flipkart's own routed infrastructure — not a service provider selling connectivity to anyone else.

What it's used for

The routing evidence describes a self-contained enterprise. RIS shows 8 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,536 addresses, no IPv6 origin, and only 3 observed BGP neighbours. The space sits in three small clusters — 163.53.76.0/23, 103.243.32.0/23 and two /24s in 103.4.253.0/103.4.255.0 — each announced both as the covering block and as its component /24s. Sampled reverse DNS resolves under fknet.flipkart.com with location-prefixed names such as chennai-5.fknet.flipkart.com, which confirms the addresses are used by Flipkart's own facilities and named by site. Three neighbours means the AS buys transit and does not sell it; there is no customer cone beneath it. This is the network Flipkart uses for its corporate and data-centre presence, distinct from whatever public cloud and CDN capacity actually fronts the shopping site for consumers.

Notable

• The address count is tiny for a company of Flipkart's scale. That is the point: the consumer-facing serving footprint lives in cloud and CDN providers' address space, while this AS carries Flipkart's own network.
• Site-named PTRs are a useful tell for enterprise networks: an operator naming addresses after cities is describing its own presence, not handing out customer pools.
• The fknet handle and the noc@flipkart.com contact make the holder unambiguous; this is not a name collision case.
