True, I was a huge fan of Flipkart since the time it only used to sell books. Then the delivery charges increased, discount reduced and Amazon and Snapdeal looked like much better options.

Even now I look at flipkart to check out the price of stuff, but it is usually more than the rest.

Flipkart lost customers confidence, is what I think.

I think it is really hard to compete with Amazon on cost. That is Amazon's strength and you will most likely lose that battle unless the government has some kind of protective measures in place or you get another titan like Alibaba or Google taking a majority stake. Flipkart still has plenty of mindshare but they need to innovate. They are not going to win based on prices alone.
