Hold your horses! No, Flipkart and Amazon are not merging. However, according to this news report, it seems that both the ecommerce biggies had discussed a possible sales & acquisition deal behind closed doors.
The talks failed. But yes, the rivals were contemplating to join hands.
While the talks with Amazon may or may not have happened or failed, rumours of Flipkart partnering with other ecommerce players refuses to die down. Take for instance, Alibaba and Flipkart deal.
It was earlier reported that ecommerce global giant Alibaba is planning to invest in Flipkart. The Chinese ecommerce leader has already invested in Paytm and Snapdeal. There is talk of the two joining hands.
Experts think that Flipkart won’t march ahead on its own for long and is most likely to collaborate with some player to take on Amazon. It is believed that Alibaba, Paytm, Snapdeal and Flipkart will join forces to dethrone the American etailer, Amazon.
The US-based online marketplace is not new to this. After all, the Alibaba and Amazon war goes long back.
Amazon is focusing on strengthening its hold on the Indian ecommerce market, while other players are busy hatching a plan to defeat it.
How?
Is it working?
Yes! Amazon recently earned the title of India’s most trusted online shopping brand and is one of the favourite marketplaces of online buyers. The etailer has highest traffic ranking and is India’s Buzziest Brand as well.
For now it is Amazon VS others. Who will win? Do you think Flipkart will tie-up with another player or will it continue to operate independently? Will Amazon India’s dream run continue or will Alibaba’s dream come true? Leave your comments below.
