New Law Highlights Walmart’s Flawed Strategy In India
The Indian ruling is to protect the small shop-keepers in that country from having to compete with these large retailers.
When I published recently that Walmart had invested $16 billion in India’s Flipkart e-commerce platform, I said that it was scary. My worries were confirmed by a recent decision by the Indian government that will bar foreign companies from selling products from affiliated companies on their Indian shopping sites. It will also prevent them from offering special discounts and exclusive products.
