Amazon Users in India Will Get Less Choice and Pay More Under New Selling Rules
Barring a last-minute reprieve, Amazon’s leading rival in India, Flipkart, which effectively became a Walmart subsidiary last year, will also be forced to remove thousands of products from its service.
On Friday, Indian consumers will wake up to an emptier, more expensive version of Amazon’s shopping service.
Gone will be iPhones and cheap jumbo packs of Pampers diapers. Fewer varieties of Maybelline cosmetics will be available, and Amazon’s own Echo smart speakers will vanish entirely.
