   Flipkart's losses went up 68% last year while revenues went up only 29%. So why would Walmart buy Flipkart? The author calls it a 'Ponzi scheme' in twitter.

      I don't like e-commerce sites very much and use that as an last resort to buying stuff. Usually get my ass of my chair and am prepared to go to the nearest city to buy things. Even if the local shop is costlier, I will buy there as it supports small businesses and provides more people employment and prevents centralization.

         But, in India, the more exotic items are only available online.

            Yeah. Like I said, online shopping as the last resort.
