Flipkart's new strategy: Alienate everyone!

[Sushubh]

After killing their mobile website, they are now considering lowering reliance upon WS Retail even further!

Flipkart seeks to cut dependence on WS Retail to focus on marketplace model - The Economic Times

Cool shit bro.

Heh. RIP Flipkart 😀

WS Retail has already stopped stocking a lot of stuff.

Now Amazon fulfilled looks more credible to me!

Amazon offers free shipping on everything that they ship too.

Brilliant strategy to reduce the customers, cost, overhead and lots of tensions. Na rahenge customer. Na hogi takleef.

There own prices were already higher than Amazon, and 3rd party even more, now amazon wins hands down lol lol lol lol

and they have staff of 80 people in my city, still they are unable to handle COD of more than 4999/- not even for customers
who have never returned any product.
So do they hire staff who cannot be considered to be reliable when handling products above Rs.5k
or
They just don't want to remain in market with the size they grew to earlier.

Seems they are winding up on things & areas which could have been strong sales point.

Management ki baaten hain bhaiya, Mein zyada bolunga to bolege ki M.B.A. Hamara hai jo karta hai, karne do :lipssealed:

Wow. Lowering reliance on ws retail? Then no need to continue the flipkart first service in future. There is already no same day delivery for my city.

Flipkart is shutting down their website and going app only in the near future.
I feel its an absurd decision
Article

myntra was supposed to take the app only route. flipkart? that sounds unlikely.

 

[kooldude]

I wish they dont take the app only route.
The article says its a cost cutting measure.

 

[kanagadeepan]

Going app only is like suicide imho. If it's really their plan, then they can go and fu(k themselves..

 

[yepp]

super!! strategy to get rid of customers

now they want to become ebay

Saw this message. I was shocked for a second and then I read the "Just kidding" line. I am expecting this to become real some day. Godamn you flipkart. There are still people with phones not having internal memory or who don't want too much apps. Taking away the mobile or the desktop website is seriously going to affect a lot of people.

Flipkart is smoking some weird shit these days.
