8. Flipkart is the largest e-commerce company in INDIA.
The founders of Flipkart are Ex-Amazon employees.
Having prior experience in the E-commerce industry helped the
founders to work strategically and differentiate their business in a
highly competitive market.
With its series of aquisitions like Letsbuy.co,
chakapk.com, weread.com, Mine360 and the recent one Myntra in
2014 has helped the company to expand in the E-commerce space
and used the capabilities and existing resources of acquired
companies.

9. Flipkart has established itself as a renowned E-
commerce company in India through TV ads, online
branding and through its presence on social media.
Having its own logistics arm E-kart & payment gateway
Payzippy has helped the company to control its expenses.
Thereby passing benefits to the end customers.
From having exclusive rights to launch some products
like MotoG MotoX , Xiaomi Mi3 as well as personal
designers segments in garments category, has helped the
company to differentiate and localize its offerings.

10. Although its logistics arm has kept cost low, the reach has been
affected which is a weakness for Flipkart. Due to use outsourcing,
amazon can deliver the product anywhere. However, flipkart is still
struggling in this field.
Due to stiff competition in the market and low customer retention,
the cost of acquisition is high because flipkart acquires a lot of
customers through online advertising. As per flipkart data, the company
spends Rs. 400/- on acquiring a new customer on an average.
Since this industry is flooded with many players, buyers have a lot of
options to choose. Switching costs are also less for customers since they
can easily switch a service from one online retail company to another.

11. By targeting other emerging markets company can increase
their revenues as well as it can have economies of scale.
This will increase their customer base and at the same time
will reduce the cost of acquisition and customer switch.
With increasing numbers of customers getting comfortable
with online shopping and increase in numbers of internet users
in India, there is huge potential in this industry.

12. By optimizing their supply chain they can
compete with the other players and can manage
the loosing sales on account of not making the
product available due to delivery restraints.
Like Amazon, Flipkart can slowly start
expanding out of India and establish operations in
other countries as well which will help improve
revenues.

13. Stiff competition from the global players like
Amazon, eBay as well as local player like Snapdeal,
Tolexo and Shopclues who are continuously trying
to grab each other’s market share.
Regulations on the issues related to FDI in
multi-branding retail has been a big hurdle in the
success of the E-commerce industry in India.
