Will this work on an induction stovetop?

RaproeGoRawrNo, the link given by the other person does not address this particular item which is a wok, only the fact that ferrous materials are a prerequisite (prerequisite doesn't mean it fits all the requirements for good performance).
Induction doesn't work so great at a distance, meaning the curved sides are barely going to heat up. And induction aside, using a flat bottom wok as a workaround for not having a gas burner pretty much negates the entire purpose of a wok. You want the entire surface area of the wok to be blasted with intense heat, not just a small spot in the center. If you don't have the stovetop for that and you want that wok hei flavor, you're better off with cookware that can deliver the heat even if the shape isn't ideal. A large iron skillet, for instance.
Edit: it's not even flat bottom (not that flat bottom is good, but for induction it's only slightly less than completely useless). So no, it won't work.
