CCI Finds Flipkart & Amazon India Guilty Of Flouting Antitrust Rules

- India's antitrust body, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), found Apple exploited its dominant position in the iOS app store market, engaging in abusive practices. - The CCI's 142-page report, seen by Reuters, highlights Apple's significant influence over digital products and services, forcing developers to use its proprietary billing system. - Apple denies wrongdoing, citing its small market share in India, where Android dominates, but the CCI report states Apple's App Store is indispensable for developers. - The investigation, initiated by a non-profit group and supported by Indian startups and Match Group, claims Apple's in-app fees hurt competition and violate Indian laws. - The CCI's findings come amid global antitrust scrutiny of Apple, with potential fines and directives to change business practices pending a final decision.

Everyone wants Google's distribution, but no one wants to pay for it. Everyone wants Google to stop doing what it's doing, but no one wants to invest in an alternative. Alternatives, if any coming up, from India will be of cheap quality. Does anyone remember what happened to BharatOS, or what's happening with Krutrim. What these app developers are not realising is that, their business is more or less happening because Android as an OS is there. It's not just about play store. I wonder why they're not cribbing against the Apple app store. Could the rates be lower? Yes. But what's in it for Google or Apple when that entire section of business is because of them? No one is stopping anyone from building a new OS, a better one. As long as a good quality one is not coming up, everyone will have to rely on Google or Apple. It feels really bad when the founders try to make it a national issue as well 🤦🏻‍♂️ Oh, and even if a new OS comes up, I wonder how they're going to sustain it, plus make people choose that without the availability of other apps.

Part time seller of posters here. Have burnt lot of money on Amazon ads - made few sales as well but ROAS is very low. Was thinking of using Shopify and using SEO to drive traffic. Tried Flipkart as well but found the policies and the support very poor. Its very sad to see Amazon and Flipkart monopolising almost all Ecommerce traffic in India.

Hey, shoppers, help me out here. Which website has better quality products - Amazon or Flipkart? I have noticed that amazon has more expensive products, but are they better in quality? Also, many people complain about the customer service of Flipkart. So, I am very confused. I want to buy some furniture and home decor items, btw.

Ab ho gya na fundraise? What's the point of saying these things now. You are not listed. You have already raised close to $1bn. It's not like this is bringing new customers. What's the point of all this PR now? Why not focus on execution instead of saying things that will bite you in the ass in the future

Walmart owns majority share in both PhonePe and Flipkart, PhonePe is a separate entity from Flipkart, but why is Flipkart itself entering into UPI ecosystem when it is dominant in e-commerce and PhonePe is dominant in UPI and payments. Why is Walmart letting both organisations go against one another by building Flipkart UPI seems weird and waste by burning money. Is it hoping Flipkart UPI to get market share from Amazon Pay or something else is at play here ? Why not pitch PhonePe inside Flipkart app heavily instead ?
