E-Commerce: My Latest Encounters

Last year December I put a story that book prices over Flipkart is not the cheapest, while Infibeam & Indiaplaza is offering a way cheaper than Flipkart.

After 4 months, TimesofIndia agrees with me, as they covered a story - Flipkart faces heat of rivals’ discounts. The article says people over India are now more aware to get the cheapest deal online.

Now a days I buy books online, after comparing prices over Indiabookstore.net. From my last some purchases I find that books are cheapest on Homeshop18 (on basis of April-May shopping). While Indiaplaza comes second on pricing, but delivers fast (in 2-4 days)

While to get online comparison of other stuffs (eg: Pendrive, mobile phones, camera etc) I use Google. Well here is a catch, select the model you like to buy and search like this: 'Micromax A73 shop' on Google (India). Google will reveal the product pages of top Indian sites - Naaptol, Saholic, Flipkart, Indiaplaza, Sulekha, Snapdeal, Letsbuy, Homeshop18 and many more.

Infibeam - A Case Study [Siblings & Unique Visitors]

When I posted Flipkart is Cheapest - I mentioned that Infibeam is rising. Now after the consolidation of Flipkart & Letbuy (it is more than just buy-out of Letsbuy by Flipkart), it seems that this move was unavoidable.

Infibeam is not just a single e-commerce site of India. It has many sister sites selling stuffs at a competitive price range.

As you can remember Infibeam has tied up with Ananda Publishers, a part of Anandabazar Group which is one of largest Bengali publishing companies
