Nitin Chhabra, CEO of Bengaluru-based ecommerce consultancy firm Ace Turtle, told ET, “Verticals players such as Urban Ladder and Zivame have started nibbling at market shares. India will be far more democratic than China where it is just few big players.”
However, Amazon said that the report did not take into account the ground realities.
"The report does not reflect what we are actually seeing on the ground as we are growing significantly faster than the growth rates of the ecommerce industry in India and other mentions in the report. We have previously announced that Diwali 2015 was four times bigger than Diwali 2014 and we sold more in Q4 2015 than we did in the entire previous year (2014)," said Amazon’s spokesperson.
