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…!!!

ANGEL IN THE PRESSURE COOKER...!!!

Friend, read this article as this is going to be an eye-opener not only for you but for many around you. An angel which must be flying all around is being confined to the kitchen area for so long and is getting tortured by us on a daily basis. Angels are made to fly but sadly, the Indians cut their wings so that they cannot fly and remain stuck in the kitchens. I am talking about the Women of India. Let’s have a look at this prevalent issue. India is the second highest populated country in the world with approximately a population figure of 1.3 Billion. Out of the total population, 48.4% population is of the female gender and the rest belongs to the male (Acc. to the World Bank, 2016) which is very close to one half of the population. India has gained its independence in the year 1947 and in the year 2018, it is among the list of developing countries, but in today’s era, the nation developing at a very rapid pace probably better than any other developed nation of the world.

MARKETING - 8th Wonder of the World

Yes, I’m declaring marketing as the 8 th Wonder of the World.  This is a very big claim I’m making as some of the high profile scientists and researchers from diverse fields have already declared the things like compound interest and other monuments as 8th Wonder of the World. I respect their opinions, but according to me the one thing that should be considered to be the 8 th wonder of the world is none other than the term ‘MARKETING’. Don’t worry, I will give a proper justification for my claims. Come, let’s dig into it. Before going further, first, we need to understand that marketing is not just a narrow topic that we read in our textbooks. MBAs, BBAs, Doctorates, etc. studies this topic as a subject, but I believe that this knowledge is very confined, but if you observe your day to day activities, your surroundings as well as other peoples you will find that somewhere or the other you are indulging in some sort of marketing either for yourself or for the other. This wor

THIRD WORLD WAR IS DECLARED...!!!

Yes, you have read it right. The Third World War is declared but this time it is going to be fought in a different manner and on different agendas. This is not going to be a traditional kind of war. You might find yourself fighting on the battlefield against your own loved ones as well. So now the question that arises is that what kind of war is it going to be and what is the reason for it? The reason that I’m going to share is very shocking but you will agree with me. The reason for a third world war will be none other than ‘WATER’.  Water which gives life to everyone is also going to be the reason one day when we human beings are going to kill each other because of lack of water. Water resources are getting depleted day by day. The natural resource which used to be available in abundance decades back has reached its capacity in major parts of the world. Majority of the world’s population nowadays is fulfilling its essential and basic needs of water by purchasing it. Reservoirs

CREATIVITY...!!! What is That???

We are living in the 21 st century, a time period where rapid changes are taking place in the entire universe and human is solely responsible for those modernizations. After all, we are the ones who have transformed this earth from the Stone Age to the Machine age. One of the major reasons that lead to all this is the upgradation in the way education is being imparted in the various institutes all around the planet. The Technology-enabled system has made the learning more interesting. If anyone wants to evaluate or judge any nation’s level of development, simply understand its educational system. The education which is imparted must make the recipient capable enough to achieve his/her dreams of the future. Creativity is something that if you don't use it, you lose it...!!! I am simply talking about the skills and knowledge that one student must have after completing a particular course or degree from any institute whatsoever. The education must bring employment of so
