Here's what Flipkart is planning to do about it.

- Shrink marketplace model. - Increase inventory led sales. - Tighter quality control. - Work with large retailers & cut down on the seller base. - Bring back private labels. - Build financial services ecosystem.

A detailed account on how Flipkart is trying to mend its ways is here: http://goo.gl/zRZ1FP.




FK sold me a FlipKart first membership for Rs. 500/year. When I tried to use it, I realized it was only for products sold by WS Retail. Of which there is an ever shrinking quantity.

Pretty crappy experience honestly.


That is the typical Indian business model, first be humble and when things aren't working then jack up the prices and stop treating customers as king
