Who was the Winner?

There are different ways to analyze this. To start with, the collective sales of Amazon and Flipkart during this festive time in India reported over 90% of gross sales of the e-commerce industry. This amounts to 55% of year-on-year progress. Digging further, we observe Flipkarts offerings were much more aggressive.

Flipkart reduced 56.8% of different products at an overall discount of 15%. In contrast, Amazon maintained its typical watchful approach to ignoring, having merely 28.4% of products, with available discounts at 12.8%.

As we have observed, there are different ways to see this; what looks to show up from the two players is the customer. In the end, the consumer has purchased more, suggesting that the condition returns to a resemblance of routine. Getting by numbers, Flipkart looks to have won this round undoubtedly.

So, Flipkart has won in sales numbers; however, the real winner is the 'consumer.'
