Flipkart is older than Amazon India, so OLD is Gold. Amazon India has nice product list but Flipkart has much more that. NICE STEP BY FLIPKART & nice info.

Ha ha, I love Flipkart too because it’s been in the Indian eCommerce field before Amazon India came. But, Amazon India offering products at a cheaper rates is forcing me to quit Flipkart. Which one do you like when it comes to price tag, Harpal?
