Flipkart losses widen by 42% to Rs 4,845.7 crore. Total loss of Flipkart since inception now amounts to Rs. 12,600 crore. And we are talking about the flag bearer of India's success story 's performance in 16th year since its inception

After 16 years of existence should we still call Flipkart a startup?

Even Amazon India isn't profitable on India operations even after 10 years of its launch - it's infact massively loss making.

I'm beginning to doubt large-scale ecommerce business model in India as a whole.

This is somewhat misleading.

Walmart isn’t looking for a profit, but to maintain the foothold in Indian market. That’s why they acquired Flipkart and are investing in it every year.

These headlines are just clickbait at this point. I don’t think they will lose a lot of a market share if they raise prices. It’s a trade off between reach and revenue, and they are still prioritizing each. With walmart money

Just because I cancelled an order

Arey yoddhaon -

Walmart is a public company and investors/board must be fully aware of reasons behind such results. If flipkart is still expanding, for sure they have clear goals, objectives.

Calling those “pioneers of retail” a stupid might not be the best conclusion.

Uber is also loss making. This will keep on going. No one is shutting shop unless black swan happens

I don't think any of the online only e-commerce platforms are profitable, without playing around the numbers.

Bahar waalo ka paisa india mein duba rahe hain. Proud of them. Jai hind.

This is just for the B2B arm. Equally massive if not more losses expected in their B2C arm results too. On top of that Ekart, Myntra and other group companies losing money as well. Lord give all startups such shareholders as Walmart!

Does not matter its walmart subsidiary they will take care
