"The response till now has been encouraging," said Surojit Chatterjee, senior VP, product management, Flipkart. The initiative already lists brands like HP, Samsung, Wildcraft, Puma, Peter England, Bosch, Vu Technologies and @Home as its users.
Under the new strategy, Flipkart will create a self-service analytics platform called 'Brand Hub', which would enable companies to target specific customer pools based on products.

"It's a way for brands to reach out in a very personalised manner while customers can discover their favourite brands, including new launches," said Chatterjee. As per him, Flipkart has over 75 million registered users and over 50 million mobile app downloads.
India’s online retail space has in the past seen top brands objecting to heavy discounts that these investor-backed ventures offer to customers, and this move will let them exercise control over what they want to showcase to customers, and how they want to do it.
