It was just reported to us by Ance in Customer Support that the order placed by Sachin Bansal, THE Sachin Bansal (Co-Founder and CEO of Flipkart.com) has not yet been delivered. The package was shipped through a reputed courier service (we will not mention names but it rhymes with FlewDart), and the above screenshot slipped under our door 5 minutes ago, further corroborates the claim.
This is further proof that e-Commerce in India — particularly those portals focusing on physical goods — faces many struggles, but is very much alive and kicking. This article in TechCrunch about MakeMyTrip.com (also mentioning Flipkart.com) sheds further light on the issue.
Back to the main story, however. The delivery of the said article will be delayed. Although Flipkart CEO Mr. Sachin Bansal was unavailable for comment, we did manage to contact the other Flipkart Co-Founder CEO Mr. Binny Bansal, who had some stern comments to make and did not mince words. Here is what he had to say:
“No Comments”.
