AMAZON vs FLIPKART = 'BALLE-BALLE' of Indian Customers

By -

Amazon and Flipkart are one of the biggest rivals in Indian Market when it comes to the E-Commerce Industry. Both are going neck to neck and trying to increase their market share in India, where if we combined Amazon’s world market share, then surely it is winning the race by a huge margin. Flipkart mostly focuses on acquiring big companies which used to be its rivals earlier such as Myntra. On the other hand, Amazon provides a wide variety of services such as Amazon Prime, Amazon Pantry, Amazon Music, etc. and many more not only in India but all around the world. But this rivalry is creating an infinite number of benefits for the customers of India.



Amazon is a global giant. It has a very large scale up E-Commerce business and Flipkart also is growing manifolds in a single day. They have a very huge business valuation. They both basically sell everything you want. Amazon sells cow dungs as well. A very big part of offline business stores is getting themselves listed on these sites in order to sell their products and services to a large audience. This gives an infinite number of options to choose from for the desired products to the Indian customers. Today, an Indian customer can compare the prices of the same product on both the websites with the help of reviews, ratings, as well as specifications. In order to retain and attract new customers, attractive offers are being offered by both Amazon and Flipkart. During the festivals, prices get cutoff to an awesome extent. Flipkart’s festival sales offer sometimes even sell a Rs.10 Thousand mobile phone on just a Single Rupee. Who would want to shop offline because of all this? I mean, it is simply getting the traditional offline market out of the market. On the other hand, they have reduced the total amount taken for the delivery of the products as well. Earlier they used to deliver the products by taking at least 2-3 days, but now Amazon Prime has changed this scenario also. Amazon Prime customers can receive the ordered product on the same day on which the order is being made. Delivery of the products will be free of cost and does not include any shipping charges what so ever with some T&C applied. Anyone can become an Amazon Prime customer by paying an annual subscription amount of just Rs. 500-1,000. Amazon Prime’s facilities do not only cover Product delivery services. An Amazon Prime customer can also avail the entertainment facilities as well, which covers TV Shows on demand, Movies on demand, etc. fully covered by the same amount.

Apart from this, in the metropolitan cities, facilities are beyond imagination. The product sometimes gets delivered within 2-3 hours from the time of making the order. What else customer will require now when an online world is replicating the offline market. Flipkart enjoys the goodwill of being an Indian E-Commerce Business site. It is equally as trustworthy as Amazon in India. With free and guaranteed return and exchange policies for the products and services, it is making its efforts count towards becoming a market leader. But, beating Amazon is a very big task for Flipkart in my opinion. It requires a very high risk and huge investment from the part of Flipkart if he really wants to become a leader in E-Commerce business in India.

Back to older days, it was being said that “CUSTOMER IS A KING of the Market”. He is the one whose needs are being fulfilled by the producers all around the world. But gradually, the statement has started to become old-fashioned and obsolete. But with the evolution of E-Commerce in India, today customers are enjoying so much of facilities that are not being enjoyed by the previous generations of the customers.

Back to the Good Old Days…!!!

SAHIL JAIN --- A So-Called Writer in the Making

The next 1000 words are going to describe the fundamentals of a writer in a nutshell, being written by a person who is trying to become a full-time writer one day, i.e. ' Me '. I am the Commander of these words and King of this real story I am going to end this shit that I have started. The best thing about being a So-Called writer, is that in real life, I have very little to say. After writing 13 articles for my own channel, the channel on which you are reading this one and the other 2 articles written for Ghumakkad TV, I believe that the name by which I am marketing them is worth it… THIS WILL MAKE YOU THINK . After coming into a full-time job of a Sales Manager for an NBFC in New Delhi, India, the essential time between the work and the passion became very hard to combine. Moreover, I don’t really like my job and I’m saying this with the highest level of confidence that I do not belong there. Sometimes I even feel that I’m wasting my time over there....

A Porn in a Day, Keeps the Doctor Away...!!!

It is hidden from no one that porn is banned in many of the countries and India also recently joined the prestigious list. Most of us consider watching pornographic content or sexual content as a matter of shame and disgrace. It is ugly. And yes, we do not wish to divvy up this thing openly. Truly speaking, I personally know around 10-15 persons who are addicted to watching pornography and masturbation, and they also will be reading this one for sure. Researches have shown that getting exposed to it continuously can create major issues with the mind . Thinking skills, memorizing skills, etc. gets hampers, and many more negatives are there for sure. Some are aware, some aren’t. Some in the aware category still watch the content continuously as it acts as a stress buster for them (15 Minutes – Din ka Sukh….!!!!). We all love to spend time on the internet. Pornography is the most searched content over the internet. Studies have also shown that a husband used to access...

Guests and Relatives --- Fucked-Up Souls…!!!

By -

You must have heard about a very renowned statement --- “Atithi Devo Bhav” --- Guest is Like a God so treat him like a God . And there is no denying that this practice is being followed blindly and whole-heartedly all around the world, but in India, it is practiced with more intensity, higher interest, high caliber, and a much higher passion. Welcome to Incredible India, the country where a guest is treated like a God. Of course , we are the ones who have set the benchmarks in this field. We love guests… Isn’t it…??? They bring fun and gossips to our 1 & 2 BHKs. If I talk particularly about my family, there you will find that we also are following the crowd and we love to do so. Except Me…!!! I all together go opposite to the flow, and I’m very much sure about this that there are plenty of head counts who are having the same perspective as mine after reading this one further. This one is especially for them, for safeguarding their interest as I have take...

    “Learning can be done in an infinite number of ways” --- I’m pretty much sure that you are going to agree with me on this assertion. Each and every phase of our life, every action teaches us something. So, on that very basis, today I’m sharing my learning from the Indian-Crime-Dramatic-Suspense-Thriller show - ‘SACRED GAMES – Season 1’ . The show has already become a very huge hit among the global audience. The way it is portrayed on the small screen of Netflix, the way characters have played their role is brilliant. They all have justified their skills and task of entertaining us to the fullest. The show is based on the novel of the same name published in 2006 by Vikram Chandra. The whole season 1 is divided into 8 episodes of approx. 50-55 minutes each. It is directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane and it is produced under the banner of Phantom Films. It all started when Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) receives an anonymous call from t...

Doctors – Life-Savers or Savings Destroyers…???

Doctor as a profession requires no introduction as they lie everywhere on this planet and are having their presence in both the genders working towards the same goal of saving someone’s life and providing that person a ray of hope. Being a doctor can be a matter of pride for anyone. We should not just call this activity as a mere profession rather should call it a 'Gift of God '.    In the past, many incidents related to health hazards have occurred where doctors had played a very crucial role in controlling things . The latest incident that I remember is EBOLA VIRUS. The incident has taken the world by storm and has taken up the lives of many, but the way doctors have taken care of this virus was exceptional. These doctors get honored with the prestigious award of Time’s Person of the Year.  Proud moment…!!!    Isn’t it…??? The medical science has evolved into manifolds in the past decade or so and inventions are kept on happening in t...
