playstation Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Just came here after reading the ET articles. Not sure if the same companies launch such protests in developed nations. A Was just about to post this...They never seem to protest when during Black friday there products are sold in USA at literally much lower than the best deals here . So Americans can go enjoy these products at lower price and then there brand does not get hurt but when Indians do it ..its hurting their brand image. I see racist angle to this. let them go to the court. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playstation Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 When was the last time a physical retail chain had a decent collection of games and hardware to choose from If you go to reliance and all they dont even have proper electronic collection. I went to buy surround sound system those guys hardly had much to offer beside i tried to see if i can get good discount ...they offered me Rs 500 off after much discussion over yht-196...i mean seriously Rs 24000 stuff and Rs 500 off ..i can probably use my card and some coupon only i can easily get atleast Rs 1500 off at most times.

godspeed4476 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yes I do agree that they should not have their panties inn a bunch because of festive sales. Even the physical retialers offer unrealistic sales prices during festive season. Just yesterday I was a with a friend of mine who is a store manager at one of the most reputed brand on country. One old guy came in looking for a TV of 6.5 lacs. In the end he managed to get that TV for 1lac discount by pitching 2_3 companies against each other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Amazon is better known in e-retail than Walmart. And rightly so, Amazon.in is here, Walmart is not. Errrr.... The protectionism followed in India held back large retail chains like Walmart, to protect small and medium vendors. E-tailers are a threat again to the same segment of the market. When they can keep giants like Walmart at bay, they are in much better position to twist arm of e-tailers through government or the supplier companies.

Right Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think Flipkart gone a little overboard with their marketing, got under scanner. And everyone knows that this is all for increasing their valuation cuz they are happily taking 10m losses every month. They screwed their reputation and with companies threatening that goods purchased online will not be serviced, the entire e-comm will now face a new challenge.

dante77 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Lets hope Amazon won't do the same. I am extremely with just 1 purchase on Amazon and recommending it to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dullu Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) People lose jobs all the time with advancement in technology. If we are that much worried about jobs, let's remove automated machineries and computers and go back to manual labor. That's what they said when the computers came into our country back in 1991. That it will take away jobs and make people jobless. What people do not realise is that these companies, if allowed to operate in their full might (read FDI in retail; setting up their own warehouses etc) will actually provide jobs and produce more skilled labor. Guess this country has a general hatred towards the term "skilled labor" BTW; someone needs to go tell the Patloon Biryani that MRP is not Minimum retail price; it's maximum retail price as per the laws Edited October 8, 2014 by dullu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godspeed4476 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 It is wrong . They are acting on behalf of vendors. The physical vendors themselves give huge discounts in Diwali or festive season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jDaMn Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I have a bad feeling FK is trolling us. The first daily deal they're offering after Monday is on money counting machines... Well at least THOSE aren't out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think Flipkart should be penalised for mentioning pricing higher than the MRP, you just cannot do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane_killer06 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Lol I bet the govt won't do anything about it. These statements are made just to calm the vendors down a bit. It'd be epic if day after tomorrow even Amazon comes with similar or beter deals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
