I don't usually buy from Flipkart. But I was looking for something today and ended up on the site. And then I saw this offer. I thought there would be some catch but there isn't. I literally ordered sugar and flour for ₹1/kg just now. Does anyone understand the logic behind this? What is Flipkart trying to do?

How do I convince Flipkart to buy Thinvent products at distributor price and then give them away for ₹1 each?

Faaraaz KahnFor any internet company data is the key. That’s a parallel business model. So a company is no longer valued based on the profits but revenue and number of customers doing transactions. Consumer behavior data can be priceless. Hide
Sudharsan AravamuthanBut you just couldn't order only those items right ? The basket value for you to be able to place an order should be more than 600 Rs. or some such thing, it's like a click bait in to making you shop more.... Hide

Shailendra SinghI was never a online grocery guy. When my wife started ordering grocery from Flipkart, then one day in a proud tone she said *the sugar I got for you at 1 ruppes / kg. I asked here, how much is the total basket value and it was around 600+. I think they are doing just to acquire customer by burning Walmart money. Hide
