Online Shopping in India is one of the most common form of entrepreneurship. While the ecommerce is increasing at a rapid pace and end-users get better deals, it is very difficult for new comers in this genre to stay for long time.
Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal have been the top three ecommerce players in India and they are doing pretty decently. There are also second level players such as Myntra, Jabong, YepMe, Paytm etc who have been doing fair job. But we must known that ecommerce in India is still not a game of profit as the aggressive prices and discounts offers are often paid by Venture Capitalists.
While Amazon India is a subsidiary of Amazon Inc and have a decent amount to spend, Flipkart and Snapdeal have commitments of over $1 Billion. They are using this for acquiring larger share of customers by providing deals and discounts.
