The largest e-commerce deal has been finalised and it is creating a buzz all over the internet world. Startup founders in India were showing their concerns before Walmart’s offer was approved by Flipkart. But now, everyone seems to be happy about this deal as it shows the power of Indian startup ecosystem and Flipkart has set an example for other players in the market to focus on customer service rather than going mad for profits because eventually, money follows the brave.
Flipkart wrote about this deal on its official Twitter account.
